- a vine:
- "Now¹ will I singª° to my wellbelovedª a songª of my belovedª touching his vineyard.ª My wellbelovedª hath¹ a vineyardª in a very fruitful²² hill:ª¹¹ ... For¹ the vineyardª of the LORDª of hostsª [is] the houseª of Israel,ª and the menª of Judahª his pleasantª plant:ª and he lookedª° for judgment,ª but behold¹ oppression;ª for righteousness,ª but behold¹ a cry.ª" {Isa 5:1-7} + "In that¹ dayª singª° ye unto her, A vineyardª of red wine.ª²° ... I¹ the LORDª do keepª° it; I will waterª° it every moment:ª lest¹ [any] hurtª°¹ it, I will keepª° it nightª and day.ª" {Isa 27:2-3} + "Yet I¹ had plantedª° thee a noble vine,ª wholly¹ a rightª seed:ª how¹ then art thou turnedª° into the degenerate¹ plant² of a strangeª vineª unto me?" {Jer 2:21} + "Therefore¹ thus¹ saithª° the Lordª GOD;ª As¹ the vineª treeª among the treesª of the forest,ª which¹ I have givenª° to the fireª for fuel,ª so¹ will I giveª°¹ the inhabitantsª° of Jerusalem.ª" {Ezk 15:6} + "And it grew,ª° and became¹ a spreadingª° vineª of lowª stature,ª whose branchesª turnedª° toward¹ him, and the rootsª thereof were¹ under¹ him: so it became¹ a vine,ª and brought forthª° branches,ª and shot²° forth¹ sprigs.ª" {Ezk 17:6} + "Thy motherª [is] like a vineª in thy blood,ª° plantedª° by¹ the waters:ª she was¹ fruitfulª° and full of branchesª by reason of manyª waters.ª¹" {Ezk 19:10} + "Hearª° anotherª parable:ª There wasª° a certainª² householder,ª whichª plantedª° a vineyard,ª andª hedged² it² round about,ª°¹¹ andª diggedª° a winepressª inª it,ª andª builtª° a tower,ª andª let²° it² outª°¹ to husbandmen,ª andª went into a far country:ª° ... They sayª° unto him,ª He will miserablyª destroyª° thoseª wicked men,ª andª will let outª° [his] vineyardª unto otherª husbandmen,ª whichª shall renderª° himª the¹ fruitsª inª theirª seasons.ª" {Mtt 21:33-41} + "Iª amª° the¹ trueª vine,ª andª myª Fatherª isª° the¹ husbandman.ª ... Hereinªª is²° myª Fatherª glorified,ª° thatª ye bearª° muchª fruit;ª soª shall ye beª° my²¹ disciples.ª" {Jhn 15:1-8}
