På den tiden skal det bli sagt: «Det er en edel vingård. Den skal dere synge om. Jeg, Herren, passer til enhver tid på den og vanner den. For at ingen skal ta hevn på den, vokter Jeg over den både dag og natt. Jeg er ikke sint. Ingen kan true Meg med noen busker og litt kratt. Hvis noen prøvde på det, ville Jeg bare gå igjennom dem eller brenne opp alt sammen. La heller dem som vil gå imot Meg, slutte fred med Meg. De kan heller gripe tak i Min styrke. Ja, la dem slutte fred med Meg!»
