Bible verses about "vineyards" | MLV

Isaiah 5:2

2 And he dug it and gathered out the stones of it and planted it with the choicest vine and built a tower in the midst of it and also hewed out a winepress in it. And he looked that it should bring forth grapes and it brought out wild grapes.

Ecclesiastes 2:4

4 I made great works for me. I built houses for me. I planted vineyards for me.

Isaiah 5:1-7

1 Let me sing for my well-beloved a song of my beloved concerning his vineyard. My well-beloved had a vineyard in a very fruitful hill. 2 And he dug it and gathered out the stones of it and planted it with the choicest vine and built a tower in the midst of it and also hewed out a winepress in it. And he looked that it should bring forth grapes and it brought out wild grapes.
3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I beseech you*, between me and my vineyard. 4 What could have been done more to my vineyard that I have not done in it? Why, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, it brought out wild grapes?
5 And now I will tell you* what I will do to my vineyard. I will take away the hedge of it and it will be eaten up. I will break down the wall of it and it will be trodden down. 6 And I will lay it waste. It will not be pruned nor hoed, but there will come up briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
7 For the vineyard of Jehovah of hosts is the house of Israel and the men of Judah his pleasant plant. And he looked for justice, but, behold, oppression, for righteousness, but, behold, a cry.

Isaiah 27:2

2 In that day is a vineyard of wine. Sing to it.

Matthew 21:33-41

33 Hear another parable: there was a certain man, a householder, who planted a vineyard and placed a fence around it, and shoveled a winepress in it, and built a tower and rented it out to farmers, and went-abroad. 34 Now when the time of the fruits drew near, he sent his bondservants to the farmers, to receive his fruits. 35 And then the farmers took his bondservants and whipped one, and killed one and stoned one. 36 Again, he sent other bondservants, more-than the first, and they did to them likewise. 37 But later he sent to them his son, saying, They will be revering my son. 38 But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir. Come-here. We should kill him, and we might hold-onto his inheritance. 39 And having taken him, they cast him forth outside the vineyard, and killed him. 40 Therefore, whenever the lord of the vineyard comes, what shall he do to those farmers?
41 They say to him, He will evilly destroy those evil men, and will be renting the vineyard to other farmers, who will be giving to him the fruits at their seasons.

Luke 13:6-9

6 Now he spoke this parable: A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit in it and found none. 7 Now he said to the vine-dresser, Behold three years, I come seeking fruit and find none in this fig tree. Cut it down. Why does it also do-away-with the good soil?
8 But he answered and says to him, Lord, Also leave it this year, until I should dig around it and put in manure; 9 and if it indeed produces fruit, good; otherwise you will be cutting it down in the future.


Matthew 20:1-16

1 For the kingdom of the heavens is similar to a man who is a householder, who went out at the same time every morning to hire workers into his vineyard. 2 And having agreed together with the workers for a denarius a day , he sent them into his vineyard. 3 And he went out around the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace; 4 and he said to those men, You also, go into the vineyard and I will be giving you whatever is just. And they went. 5 Again, they went out around the sixth and he did likewise. 6 Now around the eleventh hour, he went out and found others standing idle, and he says to them, Why are you standing here idle the whole day?
7 They say to him, Because no one has hired us.
So he says to them, You also, go into the vineyard and I will be giving you whatever is just. 8 Now when it became evening, the lord of the vineyard says to his commissioner, Call the workers and give to them their wages, begin from the last to the first. 9 And when those hired around the eleventh hour came, they each received a denarius apiece. 10 Now when the first came, they supposed that they will be receiving more, but they themselves also received a denarius apiece.
11 But having received it, they were murmuring against the householder, 12 saying, These last ones have only done one hour of work, and you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day and the burning heat.
13 But he answered and said to one of them, Comrade, I am not wronging you. Did you not agree together with me for a denarius? 14 Take up the thing which is yours and go away. It is my will to give to this last one, as I also did to you. 15 Or is it not legal for me to do what I will in the things which are mine? Or is your eye evil, because I am good? 16 So the last will be first, and the first last; for many are invited but few are chosen.

{Mar 10:32-45 & Mat 20:17-28 & Luk 18:31-34; Peraea or Judea, near Jordan.}
