8. (9) Thou hast brought a gefen (vine) out of Mitzrayim; Thou hast drove out Goyim, and planted it.
9. (10) Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the eretz.
10. (11) The harim were covered with the tzel (shadow) of it, and the branches thereof were like the mighty cedars.
11. (12) It sent out its branches unto the yam (sea, i.e., Mediterranean Sea) and its shoots unto the Nahar (river, i.e., the Euphrates).
12. (13) Lammah (why) hast Thou then broken down her walls, so that all they which pass by the derech do pluck her?
13. (14) The chazir (wild boar) out of the forest doth lay it waste, and the beasts of the sadeh doth devour it.
14. (15) Shuv nah (return now), we beseech Thee, O Elohim Tzva'os; look down from Shomayim, and behold, and visit gefen zot (this vine);
15. (16) And the stock which Thy Yamin (Right Hand) hath planted, and the Ben that Thou madest strong for Thyself.
16. (17) It is burned with eish, it is cut down; they perish at the ge'arah (rebuke) of Thy countenance.
