I planted you, a choice vine from the very best seed. How then could you turn into a degenerate, foreign vine?

Isaiah 5:1-4
I will sing about the one I love, a song about my loved one’s vineyard: The one I love had a vineyard on a very fertile hill.He broke up the soil, cleared it of stones, and planted it with the finest vines. He built a tower in the middle of it and even dug out a winepress there. He expected it to yield good grapes, but it yielded worthless grapes.So now, residents of Jerusalem and men of Judah, please judge between Me and My vineyard.What more could I have done for My vineyard than I did? Why, when I expected a yield of good grapes, did it yield worthless grapes?

Psalms 80:8-13
You uprooted a vine from Egypt; You drove out the nations and planted it.You cleared a place for it; it took root and filled the land.The mountains were covered by its shade, and the mighty cedars with its branches.It sent out sprouts toward the Sea and shoots toward the River.Why have You broken down its walls so that all who pass by pick its fruit?The boar from the forest tears it and creatures of the field feed on it.

Seeing a lone fig tree by the road, He went up to it and found nothing on it except leaves. And He said to it,“ May no fruit ever come from you again!” At once the fig tree withered.When the disciples saw it, they were amazed and said,“ How did the fig tree wither so quickly?”

Matthew 21:34-40
When the grape harvest drew near, he sent his slaves to the farmers to collect his fruit.But the farmers took his slaves, beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.Again, he sent other slaves, more than the first group, and they did the same to them.Finally, he sent his son to them.‘ They will respect my son,’ he said.“ But when the tenant farmers saw the son, they said among themselves,‘ This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and take his inheritance!’So they seized him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?”

The next day when they came out from Bethany, He was hungry.After seeing in the distance a fig tree with leaves, He went to find out if there was anything on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs.He said to it,“ May no one ever eat fruit from you again!” And His disciples heard it.

Luke 20:10-14
At harvest time he sent a slave to the farmers so that they might give him some fruit from the vineyard. But the farmers beat him and sent him away empty-handed.He sent yet another slave, but they beat that one too, treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed.And he sent yet a third, but they wounded this one too and threw him out.“ Then the owner of the vineyard said,‘ What should I do? I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’“ But when the tenant farmers saw him, they discussed it among themselves and said,‘ This is the heir. Let’s kill him, so the inheritance will be ours!’
