My
wellbeloved
hath
a
vineyard
in
a
very
fruitful hill:
An he
fenced
it,
an
gathered
out
the
stones
thereof,
an
planted
it
with
the
choicest
vine,
an
built
a tower
in
the
midst
of
it,
an also
made
a
winepress
therein:
***
Then
the
earth shook
an
trembled;
the
foundations
also
of
the hills
moved
an
were
shaken,
because
he
was
wroth.
There
went
up
a
smoke
out
of
his nostrils,
an
fire
out
of
his
mouth
devoured:
coals
were kindled
by
it.
++
An he
looked
toward
Sodom
an
Gomorrah,
an
toward
all
the
land
of
the
plain,
an
beheld,
an,
lo,
the
smoke
of
the
country
went
up
as
the
smoke
of
a
furnace.
+++
an he
looked
that it
should
bring
forth grapes,
an it
brought forth
wild
grapes.
And
now,
O
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
an
men
of
Judah,
judge,
I
pray
you,
betwixt
me
an
my
vineyard.
