Even before you begin your attack, while your plans are ripening like grapes, the Lord will cut off your new growth with pruning shears. He will snip off and discard your spreading branches.

收割之先，花开已谢，花也成了将熟的葡萄；他必用镰刀削去嫩枝，又砍掉蔓延的枝条，

收割之前，花蕾先谢，花成了将熟的葡萄；他必用刀削去嫩枝，砍掉蔓延的枝条，

收割之前，花蕾先谢，花成了将熟的葡萄；他必用刀削去嫩枝，砍掉蔓延的枝条，

在收割之前，在花已凋谢、葡萄将熟之时，耶和华必毁灭古实人，就像用刀削去葡萄树的嫩枝，砍掉蔓延的枝条。

因为在收割以前，花蕾开尽，花朵也成了将熟的葡萄之时，他就用镰刀削去嫩枝，又砍掉蔓延的枝子。

收割之前，花已开尽、花正变为成熟的葡萄，他就要用镰刀削掉嫩枝，砍除蔓延的藤条，

收割之前，花蕾先謝，花成了將熟的葡萄；他必用刀削去嫩枝，砍掉蔓延的枝條，

收割之前，花蕾先謝，花成了將熟的葡萄；他必用刀削去嫩枝，砍掉蔓延的枝條，

在收割之前，在花已凋謝、葡萄將熟之時，耶和華必毀滅古實人，就像用刀削去葡萄樹的嫩枝，砍掉蔓延的枝條。

因為在收割以前，花蕾開盡，花朵也成了將熟的葡萄之時，他就用鐮刀削去嫩枝，又砍掉蔓延的枝子。

因為在收割以前、花苞放完，花果結成了將熟的葡萄時，他就用鐮刀削去顫動的嫩枝，砍除蔓延的枝條。

收割之前，花已開盡、花正變為成熟的葡萄，他就要用鐮刀削掉嫩枝，砍除蔓延的藤條，

收穫之先、花時已過、葡萄將熟、彼必以鐮删其枝條、翦其藤蔓、

我必翦滅其軍、若秋未屆、花蕊已結、葡萄未稔、以鐮刪其枝葉、去其藤蔓、

及至收穫之前、花蕊已結、葡萄花已成將熟之果、則必以鐮刪其枝、伐其蔓而除之、

For, before the harvest, when the blossom is gone and the flower becomes a ripening grape, he will cut off the shoots with pruning knives, and cut down and take away the spreading branches.

A farmer cuts off new growth with pruning knives. He cuts down spreading branches and takes them away. He does it before the grapes are harvested. That’s when the blooms are gone and the grapes are ripe. In the same way, the Lord will cut off the nations that are gathered against his people.

For before the harvest, when the blossom is over, and the flower becomes a ripening grape, he cuts off the shoots with pruning hooks, and the spreading branches he lops off and clears away.

For before the harvest, when the blossoming is over and the blossom becomes a ripening grape, he will cut off the shoots with a pruning knife, and tear away and remove the branches.

For before the harvest, as soon as the bud blossoms And the flower becomes a ripening grape, He will cut off the shoots with pruning knives, And remove and tear away the spreading branches.

For before the harvest, when the bud is perfect And the sour grape is ripening in the flower, He will both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks And take away and cut down the branches.

For before the harvest, when the blossoming is over and the blossom becomes a ripening grape, He will cut off the shoots with a pruning knife, and tear away and remove the branches.

For afore the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away[ and] cut down the branches.

For before the harvest, when the bud has sprouted, and the ripening fruit appears, he will cut off the unproductive shoots with pruning knives; he will prune the tendrils.

It took root there and grew into a low, spreading vine. Its branches turned up toward the eagle, and its roots grew down into the ground. It produced strong branches and put out shoots.But then another great eagle came with broad wings and full plumage. So the vine now sent its roots and branches toward him for water,even though it was already planted in good soil and had plenty of water so it could grow into a splendid vine and produce rich leaves and luscious fruit.“ So now the Sovereign Lord asks: Will this vine grow and prosper? No! I will pull it up, roots and all! I will cut off its fruit and let its leaves wither and die. I will pull it up easily without a strong arm or a large army.But when the vine is transplanted, will it thrive? No, it will wither away when the east wind blows against it. It will die in the same good soil where it had grown so well.”

The fig trees are forming young fruit, and the fragrant grapevines are blossoming. Rise up, my darling! Come away with me, my fair one!”

Why? Because you have turned from the God who can save you. You have forgotten the Rock who can hide you. So you may plant the finest grapevines and import the most expensive seedlings.They may sprout on the day you set them out; yes, they may blossom on the very morning you plant them, but you will never pick any grapes from them. Your only harvest will be a load of grief and unrelieved pain.

Catch all the foxes, those little foxes, before they ruin the vineyard of love, for the grapevines are blossoming!
