And it shall be, in that day each place where a thousand vineries [or vines] shall be worth a thousand pieces of silver, and shall be into thorns and briars,
and I shall set it deserted, either forsaken. It shall not be cut, and it shall not be digged, and briars and thorns shall grow upon it; and I shall command to [the] clouds, that they rain not rain on it.
I beheld, and lo! Carmel is forsaken, and all cities thereof be destroyed from the face of the Lord, and from the face of the ire [or the wrath] of his strong vengeance.
And I shall destroy the vinery [or the vineyard] thereof, [and her fig tree], of which she said, These be mine hires or wages which my lovers gave to me; and I shall set [or put] it into a forest, and a beast of the field shall eat it.
For lo! they be gone out from destroying. Egypt shall gather them together, Memphis shall bury them. A nettle shall inherit the desirable silver of them, a clote shall be in the tabernacles of them.
Hear ye another parable. There was an husbandman, that planted a vineyard, and hedged it about, and delved a presser therein, and builded a tower, and hired it to earth-tillers, and went far in pilgrimage.
