Bible Verses About Parables: Of a vine of Egypt

You brought a vine out of Egypt, you expelled the nations and planted it,

you cleared a space for it; then it took root firmly and filled the land.

The mountains were covered with its shade, the mighty cedars with its branches;

It put out branches as far as the sea and shoots to the [Euphrates] River.

Why did you break down [the vineyard's] wall, so that all passing by can pluck [its fruit]?

The boar from the forest tears it apart; wild creatures from the fields feed on it.

God of armies, please come back! Look from heaven, see, and tend this vine!

Protect what your right hand planted, the son you made strong for yourself.

It is burned by fire, it is cut down; they perish at your frown of rebuke.
