11. Upon the one hand to the seaher boughs she did out send;On th' other side unto the floodher branches did extend.
12. Why hast thou then thus broken down,and ta'en her hedge away?So that all passengers do pluck,and make of her a prey.
13. The boar who from the forest comesdoth waste it at his pleasure;The wild beast of the field alsodevours it out of measure.
14. O God of hosts, we thee beseech,return now unto thine;Look down from heav'n in love, behold,and visit this thy vine:
15. This vineyard, which thine own right handhath planted us among;And that same branch, which for thyselfthou hast made to be strong.
