So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph: “In my dream there was a vine in front of me.

“He ties his donkey to a vine,

and the colt of his donkey to the choice vine.

He washes his clothes in wine

and his robes in the blood of grapes.

“You may sow your field for six years, and you may prune your vineyard and gather its produce for six years.

“He is not to eat anything produced by the grapevine, from seeds to skin, during the period of his consecration.

“Why have you led us up from Egypt to bring us to this evil place? It’s not a place of grain, figs, vines, and pomegranates, and there is no water to drink! ”

Then the angel of the LORD stood in a narrow passage between the vineyards, with a stone wall on either side.

“a land of wheat, barley, vines, figs, and pomegranates; a land of olive oil and honey;

For their vine is from the vine of Sodom

and from the fields of Gomorrah.

Their grapes are poisonous;

their clusters are bitter.

Later, the trees said to the grapevine,

“Come and reign over us.”

“She must not eat anything that comes from the grapevine or drink wine or beer. And she must not eat anything unclean. Your wife must do everything I have commanded her.”

“Don’t listen to Hezekiah, for this is what the king of Assyria says: ‘Make peace[fn] with me and surrender to me. Then each of you may eat from his own vine and his own fig tree, and each may drink water from his own cistern

He killed their vines with hail

and their sycamore fig trees with a flood.

You dug up a vine from Egypt;

you drove out the nations and planted it.

Return, God of Armies.

Look down from heaven and see;

take care of this vine,

He struck their vines and fig trees

and shattered the trees of their territory.

Your wife will be like a fruitful vine

within your house,

your children, like young olive trees

around your table.

The fig tree ripens its figs;

the blossoming vines give off their fragrance.

Arise, my darling.

Come away, my beautiful one.

Catch the foxes for us —

the little foxes that ruin the vineyards —

for our vineyards are in bloom.

I came down to the walnut grove

to see the blossoms of the valley,

to see if the vines were budding

and the pomegranates blooming.

I said, “I will climb the palm tree

and take hold of its fruit.”

May your breasts be like clusters of grapes,

and the fragrance of your breath like apricots.

Let’s go early to the vineyards;

let’s see if the vine has budded,

if the blossom has opened,

if the pomegranates are in bloom.

There I will give you my caresses.

He broke up the soil, cleared it of stones,

and planted it with the finest vines.

He built a tower in the middle of it

and even dug out a winepress there.

He expected it to yield good grapes,

but it yielded worthless grapes.

And on that day

every place where there were a thousand vines,

worth a thousand pieces of silver,

will become thorns and briers.

For Heshbon’s terraced vineyards

and the grapevines of Sibmah have withered.

The rulers of the nations

have trampled its choice vines

that reached as far as Jazer

and spread to the desert.

Their shoots spread out

and reached the sea.

The new wine mourns;

the vine withers.

All the carousers now groan.

Beat your breasts in mourning

for the delightful fields and the fruitful vines,

All[fn] the stars in the sky will dissolve.

The sky will roll up like a scroll,

and its stars will all wither

as leaves wither on the vine,

and foliage on the fig tree.

Don’t listen to Hezekiah, for this is what the king of Assyria says: “Make peace[fn] with me and surrender to me. Then every one of you may eat from his own vine and his own fig tree and drink water from his own cistern

I planted you, a choice vine

from the very best seed.

How then could you turn into

a degenerate, foreign vine?

This is what the LORD of Armies says:

Glean the remnant of Israel

as thoroughly as a vine.

Pass your hand once more like a grape gatherer

over the branches.

“I will gather them and bring them to an end.”[fn]

This is the LORD’s declaration.

“There will be no grapes on the vine,

no figs on the fig tree,

and even the leaf will wither.

Whatever I have given them will be lost to them.”

I will weep for you, vine of Sibmah,

with more than the weeping for Jazer.

Your tendrils have extended to the sea;

they have reached to the sea and to Jazer.[fn]

The destroyer has fallen on your summer fruit and grape harvest.

He has wrecked his temple[fn]

as if it were merely a shack in a field,[fn]

destroying his place of meeting.

The LORD has abolished

appointed festivals and Sabbaths in Zion.

He has despised king and priest

in his fierce anger.

“Son of man, how does the wood of the vine, that branch among the trees of the forest, compare to any other wood?

Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says, “Like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire as fuel, so I will give up the residents of Jerusalem.

“It sprouted and became a spreading vine, low in height with its branches turned toward him, yet its roots stayed under it. So it became a vine, produced branches, and sent out shoots.

“Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard,[fn]

planted by the water;

it was fruitful and full of branches

because of abundant water.

I will devastate her vines and fig trees.

She thinks that these are her wages

that her lovers have given her.

I will turn them into a thicket,

and the wild animals will eat them.

Israel is a lush[fn] vine;

it yields fruit for itself.

The more his fruit increased,

the more he increased the altars.

The better his land produced,

the better they made the sacred pillars.

The people will return and live beneath his shade.

They will grow grain

and blossom like the vine.

His renown will be like the wine of Lebanon.

It has devastated my grapevine

and splintered my fig tree.

It has stripped off its bark and thrown it away;

its branches have turned white.

The grapevine is dried up,

and the fig tree is withered;

the pomegranate, the date palm, and the apple —

all the trees of the orchard ​— ​have withered.

Indeed, human joy has dried up.

Don’t be afraid, wild animals,

for the wilderness pastures have turned green,

the trees bear their fruit,

and the fig tree and grapevine yield their riches.
