NET

7 Indeed, Israel is the vineyard of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the people of Judah are the cultivated place in which he took delight. He waited for justice, but look what he got—disobedience! He waited for fairness, but look what he got—cries for help!

Darby

7 For the vineyard of Jehovah of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah the plant of his delight: and he looked for justice, and behold, blood-shedding; for righteousness, and behold, a cry^D4629.

Darby Bible Notes

cry - There is an assonance in each set of words, which may be represented in both cases by the similarity of 'right' and 'might.' What is called paronomasia abounds in this book. See ch. 7.9; Gen. 49.8,16,19; Judg. 15.16; Mic. 1.10 to 15.

KJV

7 For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts [is] the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant^K4556: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression^K4557; for righteousness, but behold a cry.

KJV Bible Notes

his pleasant plant: Heb. plant of his pleasures. oppression: Heb. a scab.
