Isaiah 5:2

“And I will appoint a place for My people Israel and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place and not be disturbed again; and the unrighteous will not afflict them any more as formerly,

You removed a vine from Egypt; You drove out the nations and then You planted it.

You cleared the ground before it, And it took deep root and filled the land.

“Yet I planted you a choice vine, A completely true seed. How then have you turned yourself before Me Into the degenerate shoots of a foreign vine?

Yahweh of hosts, who planted you, has spoken forth evil against you because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done to provoke Me to anger by burning incense to Baal.

“Many shepherds have ruined My vineyard; They have trampled down My portion; They have made My desired portion A desolate wilderness.

“Son of man, how is the wood of the vine better than any wood of a branch which is among the trees of the forest?

Israel is a luxuriant vine; He produces fruit for himself. The more abundant his fruit, The more altars he abounded; The better his land, The better he made the sacred pillars.

“Listen to another parable. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard and put a wall around it and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and rented it out to vine-growers and went on a journey.

And He began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard and put a wall around it, and dug a vat under the wine press and built a tower, and rented it out to vine-growers and went on a journey.

“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vine-grower.
