Vine

“I had planted you like a choice vine from the very best seed. How could you turn yourself before Me into a rotten, wild vine?”

“Then the trees said to the grapevine, ‘Come and reign over us.’”

“But the grapevine replied, ‘Should I stop giving my wine that cheers both God and man, to hold sway over the trees?’”

“I will make it a wasteland, neither pruned nor cultivated, and thorns and briers will grow up. I will command the clouds that rain shall not fall on it.””

““I am the true vine, and My Father is the keeper of the vineyard.”

“You uprooted a vine from Egypt; You drove out the nations and transplanted it.”

“It sprouted and became a spreading vine, low in height, with branches turned toward him; yet its roots remained where it stood. So it became a vine and yielded branches and sent out shoots.”

“Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard, planted by the water; it was fruitful and full of branches because of the abundant waters.”
