Isaiah 27:1–4

TEXT EDITION
Pure Cambridge Edition selected
IN that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine.
I the Lord do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.
Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.

    1AND Job answered and said,

    2No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.

    3But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?

    4I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.

    5He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.

    6The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.

    7But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:

    8Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.

    19He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.

    20He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged.

    21He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty.

    22He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.

    23He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again.

    24He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.

    25They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man.

    1NOW will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:

    2And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.

    3And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.

    4What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?

    5And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:

    6And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

    7For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.

    9Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.

    10And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.

    11And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.

    12And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.

    13Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.

    14But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.

    15So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?

    16He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.

    17And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?

    18Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

  4. Matthew 21:33–46Rank 4 from verse 2

    33¶ Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:

    34And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.

    35And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.

    36Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.

    37But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.

    38But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.

    39And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.

    40When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?

    41They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.

    42Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

    43Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

    44And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

    45And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.

    11She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.

    12Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?

    13The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.

    14Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;

    15And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.

    16It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

    17Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.

    18So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.

    19Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
