Song of Solomon 8:11-12

11 Solomon had ^aa vineyard at Baal-hamon;
he ^blet out the vineyard to ^ckeepers;
each one was to bring for its fruit ^da thousand pieces of silver.
12 My vineyard, my very own, is before me;
you, O Solomon, may have the thousand,
and ^ethe keepers of the fruit two hundred.

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 ^fa vineyard
on a very fertile hill.
2 He dug it and cleared it of stones,
and planted it with ^gchoice vines;
he built a watchtower in the midst of it,
and hewed out a wine vat in it;
and ^hhe 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 ⁱWhat more was there to do for my vineyard,
that I have not done in it?
^jWhen 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 ^kits hedge,
and it shall be devoured; ^{▼▼Or grazed over; compare Exodus 22:5}
^mI 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 ⁿbriers and thorns shall grow up;
^oI will also command the clouds
that they rain no rain upon it.
7 ^pFor 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}
