12. Why have you broken down the walls around your vine? Now all who pass by it can pick its grapes.
13. Wild pigs from the forest destroy it. The creatures of the field feed on it.
14. God who rules over all, return to us! Look down from heaven and see us! Watch over your vine.
15. Guard the root you have planted with your powerful right hand. Take care of the branch you have raised up for yourself.
16. Your vine has been cut down. Fire has burned it up. You have been angry with us, and we are dying.
17. May you honor the people at your right hand. May you honor the nation you have raised up for yourself.
18. Then we won't turn away from you. Give us new life. We will worship you.
