Isaiah 27:2 Cross References - Thomson

² In that day the fair vineyard; I have a mind to lead a responsive song against this.

¹⁷ Then sung Israel this song to the well, Begin to him the alternate song of the well.

⁸ Thou has brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out nations and planted it. ⁹ Thou didst prepare the way before it; and plant its roots and the land was filled: ¹⁰ and its shade obscured mountains: and its branchy shoots, the cedars of God. ¹¹ It extended its branches quite to the sea; and its spreading boughs quite to the river. ¹² Why hast thou broken down its hedge; that all who pass by the way, may pluck it? ¹³ The boar from the forest hath laid it waste; and a savage beast hath devoured it. ¹⁴ God of hosts, return we beseech thee; look down from heaven and see and visit this vine: ¹⁵ and repair that which thy right hand hath planted; even for the son of man, whom thou madest strong for thyself. ¹⁶ It is burned up with fire and rooted up. At the rebuke of thy countenance are they to perish? ¹⁷ let thy hand be on the man of thy right hand; on the son of man whom thou hast made strong for thyself: ¹⁸ and let us not depart from thee. Thou canst quicken us that we may invoke thy name. ¹⁹ Lord, the God of hosts, bring us back: and let thy face shine and we shall be saved.

¹ Let me sing for the Beloved, a song of my Beloved to His vineyard. The beloved had a vineyard on a mountain in a rich soil, ² and I hedged it around and trenched it; and planted it with the vine of Sorek; and in the midst of it built a tower, and hewed out therein a wine lake; and waited for its producing grapes, and it produced poisonous berries. ³ Now therefore, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Juda, judge between me and my vineyard. ⁴ What more could I do for my vineyard that I have not done for it? Because I expected that it would produce grapes, and it hath produced poisonous berries; ⁵ now therefore I will tell you, what I purpose to do with my vineyard; I take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be exposed to plunder; and I will demolish its wall, and it shall be for a common walk; ⁶ and I will abandon my vineyard that it may neither be pruned nor digged; and brambles shall overrun it as a waste; and I will give a charge to the clouds not to shed rain upon it. ⁷ For the vineyard of the Lord of Hosts is the house of Israel; and the men of Juda his beloved plant. I waited for their executing justice, but they committed injustice, and promoted not righteousness, but an outcry.

²¹ I indeed planted thee an entirely good and fruitful vine: how art thou, degenerate vine, turned to bitterness?

³³ Hear another parable. There was a certain landlord who planted a vineyard and hedged it around, and dug therein a wine lake, and built a tower, and let it to tenants and went to a distant country. ³⁴ And when the fruit season approached, he sent his servants to the tenants to receive the fruits of it. ³⁵ But the tenants seizing his servants, beat one and killed another, and stoned another. ³⁶ Again he sent other servants in greater number than the first, and they treated them in the same manner. ³⁷ At last he sent to them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. ³⁸ But when the tenants saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir. Come let us kill him and keep possession of his inheritance. ³⁹ So, seizing him, they turned him out of the vineyard and slew him. ⁴⁰ Now when the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do to these tenants? ⁴¹ They say to him, "Wretches! he will put them to a wretched death: and his vineyard he will let to others; who will render him the fruits in their seasons." ⁴² Jesus saith to them, Have you never read in the scriptures, "The stone which the builders rejected was the very one for the head of the corner. This [salvation] was from the Lord, and it is wonderful in our eyes." ⁴³ Therefore I say to you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you and given to a nation producing the fruits thereof. ⁴⁴ And he who falleth on that stone will be bruised, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. ⁴⁵ Now the chief priests and the Pharisees, when they heard his parables, knew that he spake of them: ⁴⁶ but when they sought to seize him, they were afraid of the multitude, because they regarded him as a prophet.

⁹ Then he addressed to the people this parable. A certain man planted a vineyard and let it to husbandmen, and went abroad for many seasons. ¹⁰ And at one season he sent a servant to the husbandmen that they might give him some of the product of the vineyard. But the husbandmen beat him and sent him away empty. ¹¹ Again he sent another servant; and him also they beat, and abused shamefully, and sent away empty. ¹² Again he sent a third, and this one they wounded and cast out. ¹³ Then the owner of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I will send my son, the Beloved. Perhaps they will reverence him, when they see him. ¹⁴ But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be our own. ¹⁵ So having, cast him out of the vineyard they slew him. What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them? ¹⁶ He will come and destroy those husbandmen and give the vineyard to others. Upon hearing this, they said, God forbid. ¹⁷ But he looking earnestly at them, said, "What then is the meaning of this passage of scripture, The stone which the builders rejected was the very one for the head of the corner! ¹⁸ Whosoever falleth on this stone will be bruised; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
