9 Thou madest room for it: and when it had taken root, it filled the land.

To The hills were covered with the shadow of it: and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedar-trees.

II She stretched out her branches unto the sea and her boughs unto the river.

12 Why hast thou then broken down her hedge that all they that go by pluck off her grapes?

13 The wild boar out of the wood doth root it up and the wild beasts of the field devour it.

14 Turn thee again, Thou God of hosts, look down from heaven: behold, and visit this vine; 15 And the place of the vineyard that thy right hand hath planted and the branch that thou madest so strong for thyself.

16 It is burnt with fire and cut down: and they shall perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

II I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I small fill it.

12 But my people would not hear my voice and Israel would not obey me.

13 So I gave them up unto their own hearts lufts and let them follow their own imagi. nations.

14 O that my people would have hearkened unto me: for if Ifrael had walked in my ways,

15 I should foon have put down their enemies and turned my hand against their adversaries.

16 The haters of the Lord should have been found liars: but their time should have endured for ever.

11 Make them and their princes like Oreb and Zeb: yea, make all their princes like as Zeba and Zalmana;

12 Who say, Let us take to ourselves: the houses of God in possession.

13 O my God make them like unto a wheel and as the stubble before the wind;

14 Like as the fire that burn. eth up the wood: and as the flame that consumeth the mountains.
