Look down from heaven, and, behold, and visit this vine, ¹⁵ and the stock which thy right hand planted, and the branch that thou made strong for thyself. ¹⁶ It is burned with fire, it is cut down. They perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

² And he dug it, and gathered out the stones of it, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also hewed out a winepress in it.

Why, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, it brought forth wild grapes? ⁵ And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will take away the hedge of it, and it shall be eaten up. I will break down the wall of it, and it shall be trodden down. ⁶ And I will lay it waste. It shall not be pruned nor hoed, but there shall come up briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it. ⁷ For the vineyard of LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant. And he looked for justice, but behold, oppression, for righteousness, but behold, a cry.

¹⁰ See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.

⁷ At that instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy it, ⁸ if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turns from their evil, I will relent of the evil that I thought to do to them. ⁹ And at that instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it, ¹⁰ if they do that which is evil in my sight, that they obey not my voice, then I will relent of the good with which I said I would benefit them.

²⁸ And it shall come to pass that, just as I have watched over them to pluck up and to break down and to overthrow and to destroy and to afflict, so I will watch over them to build and to plant, says LORD.

¹⁶ For by fire LORD will execute judgment, and by his sword, upon all flesh, and the slain of LORD shall be many.

²⁶ and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth. And the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.

² Thus says LORD: He who abides in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, but he who goes forth to the Chaldeans shall live, and his life shall be to him for a prey, and he shall live.

¹⁸ For I will surely save thee, and thou shall not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey to thee, because thou have put thy trust in me, says LORD.

⁸ Therefore wait ye for me, says LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey. For my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them my indignation, even all my fierce anger. For all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.

²⁵ Because of this I say to you, be not anxious about your life, what ye may eat, or what ye may drink, nor yet for your body, what ye may wear. Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the clothing? ²⁶ Look to the birds of the sky, because they sow not, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns, and your heavenly Father feeds them. Are ye not more valuable then they? ²⁷ And which man of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his life span? ²⁸ And why are ye anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They toil not, nor do they spin, ²⁹ yet I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed like one of these. ³⁰ And if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into an oven, will he not much more you, O ye of little faith? ³¹ Be not therefore anxious, saying, What may we eat? or, What may we drink? or, What may we wear? ³² For the Gentiles seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that ye need all these things.

²⁶ I suppose therefore this to be good because of the present distress, that it is good for a man to be this way: ²⁷ Are thou bound to a wife? Do not seek separation. Are thou free from a wife? Do not seek a wife. ²⁸ But also if thou did marry thou have not sinned, and if the virgin married she has not sinned. Yet such kind will have stress in the flesh, but I spare you. ²⁹ But this I say, brothers, the time is shortened. It is the remaining, so that also those who have wives may be as not having, ³⁰ and those who weep, as not weeping, and those who rejoice, as not rejoicing, and those who buy, as not possessing, ³¹ and those who use this world, as not making full use, for the form of this world passes away. ³² But I want you to be without worry. The unmarried man cares for things of the Lord, how he will please the Lord.

⁶ But piety with contentment is great gain, ⁷ for we brought nothing into the world. It is clear that neither can we carry anything out, ⁸ but having food and covering we will be content with these. ⁹ But those who want to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful lusts, which sink men in destruction and ruin.

⁵ The Way of life is to be without love of money, being content with the things that are present, for he has said, I will, no, not leave thee, and also, I will, no, not forsake thee.
