12 Why have you broken down its walls

so that all who pass by pick its grapes?

13 Boars from the forest ravage it,

and insects from the fields feed on it.

14 Return to us, God Almighty!

Look down from heaven and see!

Watch over this vine,

15 the root your right hand has planted,

the son you have raised up for yourself.

16 Your vine is cut down, it is burned with fire;

at your rebuke your people perish.

12 Why hast thou then broken down her hedges,

So that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?

13 The boar out of the wood doth waste it,

And the wild beast of the field doth devour it.

14 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts:

Look down from heaven, and behold,

And visit this vine;

15 And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted,

And the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.

16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down:

They perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

12 But now, why have you broken down our walls

so that all who pass by may steal our fruit?

13 The wild boar from the forest devours it,

and the wild animals feed on it.

14 Come back, we beg you, O God of Heaven’s Armies.

Look down from heaven and see our plight.

Take care of this grapevine

15 that you yourself have planted,

this son you have raised for yourself.

16 For we are chopped up and burned by our enemies.

May they perish at the sight of your frown.

12 Why have You broken down her hedges,

So that all who pass by the way pluck her fruit?

13 The boar out of the woods uproots it,

And the wild beast of the field devours it.

14 Return, we beseech You, O God of hosts;

Look down from heaven and see,

And visit this vine

15 And the vineyard which Your right hand has planted,

And the branch that You made strong for Yourself.

16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down;

They perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.

12 So why did you pull down our walls?

Now everyone who passes by steals from us.

13 Like wild pigs they walk over us;

like wild animals they feed on us.

14 God All-Powerful, come back.

Look down from heaven and see.

Take care of us, your vine.

15 You planted this shoot with your own hands

and strengthened this child.

16 Now it is cut down and burned with fire;

you destroyed us by your angry looks.

12 Why hast thou broken down its walls,

So that all they that pass by the way do pluck it?

13 The boar out of the wood doth ravage it,

And the wild beasts of the field feed on it.

14 Turn again, we beseech thee, O God of hosts:

Look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine,

15 And the stock which thy right hand planted,

And the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.

16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down:

They perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

12 Why hast thou broken down its fences, so that all who pass by the way do pluck it? 13 The boar out of the forest doth waste it, and the beast of the field doth feed off it. 14 O God of hosts, return, we beseech thee; look down from the heavens, and behold, and visit this vine; 15 Even the stock which thy right hand hath planted, and the young plant thou madest strong for thyself. 16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down; they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

12 Why did you break down the stone fences around this vine? 

All who pass by are picking its fruit. 

13 Wild boars from the forest graze on it. 

Wild animals devour it. 

14 O God, commander of armies, come back! 

Look from heaven and see! 

Come to help this vine. 

15 Take care of what your right hand planted, 

the son you strengthened for yourself. 

16 The vine has been cut down and burned. 

Let them be destroyed by the threatening look on your face. 

12 Why have You broken down its walls

so that all who pass by pick its fruit?

13 The boar from the forest tears it

and creatures of the field feed on it.

14 Return, God of Hosts.

Look down from heaven and see;

take care of this vine,

15 the root Your right hand has planted,

the shoot that You made strong for Yourself.

16 It was cut down and burned up;

they perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.

12 Why then have you broken down its walls,

so that all who pass along the way pluck its fruit?

13 The boar from the forest ravages it,

and all that move in the field feed on it.

14 Turn again, O God of hosts;

look down from heaven, and see;

have regard for this vine,

15 the stock that your right hand planted.

16 They have burned it with fire, they have cut it down;

may they perish at the rebuke of your countenance.

12 Why have you broken down its walls,

so that all who pass on the road pluck fruit from it?

13 Swine from the forests devour it

and creatures of the field feed on it.

14 Please return, O God of hosts.

Observe from heaven and see,

and pay attention to this vine,

15 even the stalk that your right hand planted,

and concerning the shoot you strengthened for yourself.

16 It is burned with fire, cut down.

They perish at the rebuke of your face.

12 Why have you broken down the walls around your vine?

Now all who pass by it can pick its grapes.

13 Wild pigs from the forest destroy it.

The creatures of the field feed on it.

14 God who rules over all, return to us!

Look down from heaven and see us!

Watch over your vine.

15 Guard the root you have planted with your powerful right hand.

Take care of the branch you have raised up for yourself.

16 Your vine has been cut down. Fire has burned it up.

You have been angry with us, and we are dying.

12 Why have You broken down its hedges,

So that all who pass that way pick its fruit?

13 A boar from the forest eats it away

And whatever moves in the field feeds on it.

14 O God of hosts, turn again now, we beseech You;

Look down from heaven and see, and take care of this vine,

15 Even the shoot which Your right hand has planted,

And on the son whom You have strengthened for Yourself.

16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down;

They perish at the rebuke of Your countenance.
