9 You visit the earth and ^awater it; ^{▼▼Or and make it overflow}
you greatly enrich it;
^cthe river of God is full of water;
^dyou provide their grain,
for so you have prepared it.
10 You water its furrows abundantly,
settling its ridges,
softening it with ^eshowers,
and blessing its growth.
11 You crown the year with your bounty;
your wagon tracks ^foverflow with abundance.
12 ^gThe pastures of the wilderness overflow,
the hills ^hgird themselves with joy,
13 ⁱthe meadows clothe themselves with flocks,
the valleys deck themselves with grain,
they ^jshout and sing together for joy.

Psalms 72:16

16 May there be abundance of grain in the land;
on the tops of the mountains may it wave;
may its fruit be like Lebanon;
and may people ^kblossom in the cities
like the ^lgrass of the field!

Psalms 80:8-11

8 You brought ^ma vine out of Egypt;
you ⁿdrove out the nations and planted it.
9 You ^ocleared the ground for it;
it took deep root and filled the land.
10 The mountains were covered with its shade,
the mighty cedars with its branches.
11 It sent out its branches to ^pthe sea
and its shoots to ^qthe River. ^{▼▼That is, the Euphrates}

Isaiah 5:1-7

The Vineyard of the Lord Destroyed

1 Let me sing for my beloved
my love song concerning his vineyard:
My beloved had ^sa vineyard
on a very fertile hill.
2 He dug it and cleared it of stones,
and planted it with ^tchoice vines;
he built a watchtower in the midst of it,
and hewed out a wine vat in it;
and ^uhe looked for it to yield grapes,
but it yielded wild grapes.
3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem
and men of Judah,
judge between me and my vineyard.
4 ^vWhat more was there to do for my vineyard,
that I have not done in it?
^wWhen I looked for it to yield grapes,
why did it yield wild grapes?
5 And now I will tell you
what I will do to my vineyard.
I will remove ^xits hedge,
and it shall be devoured; ^{▼▼Or grazed over; compare Exodus 22:5}
^zI will break down its wall,
and it shall be trampled down.
6 I will make it a waste;
it shall not be pruned or hoed,
and ^aabriers and thorns shall grow up;
^abI will also command the clouds
that they rain no rain upon it.
7 ^acFor the vineyard of the Lord of hosts
is the house of Israel,
and the men of Judah
are his pleasant planting;
and he looked for justice,
but behold, bloodshed; ^{▼▼The Hebrew words for justice and bloodshed sound alike}
for righteousness,
but behold, an outcry! ^{▼▼The Hebrew words for righteous and outcry sound alike}

Isaiah 27:2-3

2 In that day,
^af“A pleasant vineyard, ^{▼▼Many Hebrew manuscripts A vineyard of wine} ^ahsing of it!
3 I, the Lord, am its keeper;
every moment I water it.
Lest anyone punish it,
I keep it night and day;

Isaiah 28:24-29

24 Does he who plows for sowing plow continually?
Does he continually open and harrow his ground?
25 ^aiWhen he has leveled its surface,
does he not scatter dill, sow cumin,
and put in wheat in rows
and barley in its proper place,
and emmer ^{▼▼A type of wheat} as the border?
26 ^akFor he is rightly instructed;
his God teaches him.
27 Dill is not threshed with a threshing sledge,
nor is a cart wheel rolled over cumin,
but dill is beaten out with a stick,
and cumin with a rod.
28 Does one crush grain for bread?
No, he does not thresh it forever; ^{▼▼Or Grain is crushed for bread; he will surely thresh it, but not forever}
when he drives his cart wheel over it
with his horses, he does not crush it.
29 This also comes from the Lord of hosts;
he is ^amwonderful in counsel
and excellent in wisdom.

Isaiah 32:20

20 ^anHappy are you who sow beside all waters,
who let the feet of the ox and the donkey range free.
