5:2 He built a hedge around it, 1 removed its stones,
and planted a vine.
He built a tower in the middle of it,
and constructed a winepress.
He waited for it to produce edible grapes,
but it produced sour ones instead. 2
30:25 On every high mountain
and every high hill
there will be streams flowing with water,
at the time of 3 great slaughter when the fortified towers collapse.
