It shall not be pruned or1 dug,
But there shall come up briers and bthorns.
I will also command the clouds
That they rain no rain on it.”

7 For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel,
And the men of Judah are His pleasant plant.
He looked for justice, but behold, oppression;
For righteousness, but behold,1 a cry for help.

They add field to field,
Till there is no place
Where they may dwell alone in the midst of the land!

Till there is no place
Where they may dwell alone in the midst of the land!
9 aIn my hearing the Lord of hosts said,
“Truly, many houses shall be desolate,
Great and beautiful ones, without inhabitant.

Great and beautiful ones, without inhabitant.
11 aWoe to those who rise early in the morning,
That they may1 follow intoxicating drink;
Who continue until night, till wine inflames them!
That they may1 follow intoxicating drink;
Who continue until night, till wine inflames them!
12 aThe harp and the strings,
The tambourine and flute,
And wine are in their feasts;
But bthey do not regard the work of the Lord,
Nor consider the operation of His hands.
