11 And she as far as to the sea Her [prosperous] fruitful boughs did send; And to the bounding river's side Her [out-spread] branches did extend.
12 Why hast thou then her fencing hedge Thus [greatly] broken and cast down, So that all passengers her fruit Do pluck [and take] even as their own.
13 It rooted up and wasted is By the [unclean] boar of the wood▪ And all the wild beasts of the field Devour it as their [proper] food.
14 O God of Hosts, we thee beseech, [With help] return yet unto thine; With mercy look from heaven, behold And visit this thy [wasted] Vine.
14 O God of Hosts, we thee beseech, [With help] return yet unto thine; With mercy look from heav'n, behold And visit this thy [wasted] Vine.
