Come together to eat up my land.Many shepherds will destroy my vineyard. They will walk all over it. They will turn my pleasant vineyard into a dry and empty land.My vineyard will become a desert. It will be dry and empty in my sight. The whole land will be completely destroyed. And no one even cares.
