7. Do you get it? The vineyard of God-of-the-Angel-Armiesis the country of Israel.All the men and women of Judahare the garden he was so proud of.He looked for a crop of justiceand saw them murdering each other.He looked for a harvest of righteousnessand heard only the moans of victims.
20. Doom to you who call evil goodand good evil,Who put darkness in place of lightand light in place of darkness,Who substitute bitter for sweetand sweet for bitter!
24. But they won’t get by with it. As fire eats stubbleand dry grass goes up in smoke,Their souls will atrophy,their achievements crumble into dust,Because they said no to the revelationof God-of-the-Angel-Armies,Would have nothing to dowith The Holy of Israel.
