King James Version KJV
New International Version NIV
8 Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
8
You transplanted a vine from Egypt; you drove out the nations and planted it.
9 Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
9
You cleared the ground for it, and it took root and filled the land.
10 The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.
10
The mountains were covered with its shade, the mighty cedars with its branches.
11 She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.
11
Its branches reached as far as the Sea,its shoots as far as the River.
12 Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
12
Why have you broken down its walls so that all who pass by pick its grapes?
13 The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.
13
Boars from the forest ravage it, and insects from the fields feed on it.
14 Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
14
Return to us, God Almighty! Look down from heaven and see! Watch over this vine,
15 And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
15
the root your right hand has planted, the son you have raised up for yourself.
16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
16
Your vine is cut down, it is burned with fire; at your rebuke your people perish.
17 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.
17
Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand, the son of man you have raised up for yourself.
18 So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.
18
Then we will not turn away from you; revive us, and we will call on your name.
