Bible Verses About Parables: Of a vine of Egypt

A vine out of Egypt Thou dost bring, Thou dost cast out nations, and plantest it.

Thou hast looked before it, and dost root it, And it filleth the land,

Covered have been hills with its shadow, And its boughs are cedars of God.

It sendeth forth its branches unto the sea, And unto the river its sucklings.

Why hast Thou broken down its hedges, And all passing by the way have plucked it?

A boar out of the forest doth waste it, And a wild beast of the fields consumeth it.

God of Hosts, turn back, we beseech Thee, Look from heaven, and see, and inspect this vine,

And the root that Thy right hand planted, And the branch Thou madest strong for Thee,

Burnt with fire--cut down, From the rebuke of Thy face they perish.
