12. Isaiah 5:1-11
My beloved had a vineyard on a rich and ferFle hill. He plowed the
land, cleared its stones, and planted it with the best vines. In the
middle he built a watchtower and carved a winepress in the nearby
rocks. Then he waited for a harvest of sweet grapes, but the grapes
that grew were biIer.

13. Isaiah 5:1-11
Now, you people of Jerusalem and Judah, you judge between me and
my vineyard. What more could I have done for my vineyard that I have
not already done? When I expected sweet grapes, why did my vineyard
give me biIer grapes?

14. Isaiah 5:1-11
Now let me tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will tear down its
hedges and let it be destroyed. I will break down its walls and let the
animals trample it. I will make it a wild place where the vines are not
pruned and the ground is not hoed, a place overgrown with briers and
thorns. I will command the clouds to drop no rain on it.

15. Isaiah 5:1-11
The naFon of Israel is the vineyard of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. The
people of Judah are his pleasant garden. He expected a crop of jusFce, but
instead he found oppression. He expected to find righteousness, but
instead he heard cries of violence.

16. “We have explored the temple of royalty
and found that the idol we have bowed
down to has eyes which see not, ears that
hear not our prayers, and heart like the
millstone.
We have this day restored the Sovereign to
whom all people ought to be obedient. He
reigns in Heaven, and with a propiFous eye
beholds his subjects assuming the freedom
of thought and dignity of self-direcFon
which He bestowed upon them. From the
rising to the seTng of the sun, let His
Kingdom come!”
Samuel Adams

17. “O God, why is your mighty right hand
tucked inside your garment?”
“O God, do not let the wild beasts
destroy your turtledoves.”
“O God, the dark places of
our land are full of violence.”

19. Habbakuk 1:1-4 How long, O Lord, must I call for help? But you do not
listen! “Violence is everywhere!” I cry, but you do not come to save. Must
I forever see these evil deeds? Why must I watch all this misery? Wherever
I look, I see destrucFon and violence. I am surrounded by people who love
to argue and fight. The law has become paralyzed, and there is no jusFce in
the courts. The wicked far outnumber the righteous, so that jusFce has
become perverted.

20. “O God, do not let these wild beasts destroy your turtledoves.”
“O God, please do not let
my boyfriend die.”

21. “Nothing is more certain than that a
general carelessness and corrupFon of
manners makes a people ripe for
destrucFon. A good form of government
may hold the roIen materials together for
some Fme, but beyond a certain pitch
even the best consFtuFon will be
ineffectual, and slavery must ensue…
On the other hand, when the manners
of a naFon are pure, when true religion
and internal principles maintain their
vigor, the aIempts of the most powerful
enemies to oppress them are commonly
baffled and disappointed…”
