5:4 What more can I do for my vineyard
beyond what I have already done?
When I waited for it to produce edible grapes,
why did it produce sour ones instead?
5:9 The Lord who commands armies told me this: 1
“Many houses will certainly become desolate,
large, impressive houses will have no one living in them. 2
32:10 In a year’s time 3
you carefree ones will shake with fear,
for the grape 4 harvest will fail,
and the fruit harvest will not arrive.
49:13 Shout for joy, O sky! 5
Rejoice, O earth!
Let the mountains give a joyful shout!
For the Lord consoles his people
and shows compassion to the 6 oppressed.
65:15 Your names will live on in the curse formulas of my chosen ones. 7
The sovereign Lord will kill you,
but he will give his servants another name.
