For their vine is from the vine of Sodom

He will be like a vine that drops its unripe grapes

and like an olive tree that sheds its blossoms.

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.

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.

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.

that reached as far as Jazer

and spread to the desert.

Their shoots spread out

and reached the sea.

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?

They will consume your harvest and your food.

They will consume your sons and your daughters.

They will consume your flocks and your herds.

They will consume your vines and your fig trees.

With the sword they will destroy

your fortified cities in which you trust.

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.

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

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.

But each person will sit under his grapevine

and under his fig tree

with no one to frighten him.

For the mouth of the LORD of Armies

has spoken.

Though the fig tree does not bud

and there is no fruit on the vines,

though the olive crop fails

and the fields produce no food,

though the flocks disappear from the pen

and there are no herds in the stalls,

“Is there still seed left in the granary? The vine, the fig, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not yet produced. But from this day on I will bless you.”
