Isaiah 27:3-5

New International Reader's Version

³ “I am the Lord. I watch over my vineyard.
    I water it all the time.
I guard it day and night.
    I do it so no one can harm it.
⁴ I am not angry with my vineyard.
    I wish thorns and bushes would come up in it.
Then I would march out against them in battle.
    I would set all of them on fire.
⁵ So the enemies of my people should come to me for safety.
    They should make peace with me.
I will say it again.
    They should make peace with me.”
