5:5 Now I will inform you
what I am about to do to my vineyard:
I will remove its hedge and turn it into pasture, 1
I will break its wall and allow animals to graze there. 2
48:3 “I announced events beforehand, 3
I issued the decrees and made the predictions; 4
suddenly I acted and they came to pass.

2 tn Heb “and it will become a trampled place” (NASB “trampled ground”).
3 tn Heb “the former things beforehand I declared.”
4 tn Heb “and from my mouth they came forth and I caused them to be heard.”
