So then, you will recognize them by their fruit.

Your shoots are a royal garden ¹  full of pomegranates with choice fruits: henna with nard,

with the harvest produced by the daylight ¹  and by ²  the moonlight; ³ 

You will recognize them by their fruit. Grapes are not gathered ¹  from thorns or figs from thistles, are they? ² 

The mandrakes ¹  send out their fragrance; over our door is every delicacy, ²  both new and old, which I have stored up for you, my lover.

We also accept responsibility for ¹  bringing the first fruits of our land and the first fruits of every fruit tree year by year to the temple of the LORD.

The Beloved to Her Lover: Awake, O north wind; come, O south wind! Blow on my garden so that its fragrant spices may send out their sweet smell. ¹  May my beloved come into his garden and eat its delightful fruit!

filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God.

For this reason I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a people ¹  who will produce its fruit.

But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, accommodating, ¹  full of mercy and good fruit, ²  impartial, and not hypocritical. ³ 

Therefore produce fruit ¹  that proves your ²  repentance,

May the creditor seize ¹  all he owns! May strangers loot his property! ² 

Honor ¹  the Lord from your wealth and from the first fruits of all your crops; ² 

The farmer who works hard ought to have the first share of the crops.

ט (Tet) Those who died by the sword ¹  are better off than those who die of hunger, ²  those who ³  waste away, ⁴  struck down ⁵  from lack of ⁶  food. ⁷ 

So I weep along with Jazer ¹  over the vines of Sibmah. I will saturate you ²  with my tears, Heshbon and Elealeh, for the conquering invaders shout triumphantly over your fruit and crops. ³ 

I will weep for the grapevines of Sibmah just like the town of Jazer weeps over them. ¹  Their branches once spread as far as the Dead Sea. ²  They reached as far as the town of Jazer. ³  The destroyer will ravage her fig, date, ⁴  and grape crops.

Therefore produce ¹  fruit ²  that proves your repentance, and don’t begin to say ³  to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ ⁴  For I tell you that God can raise up children for Abraham from these stones! ⁵ 

if I have eaten its produce without paying, ¹  or caused the death ²  of its owners, ³ 

He struck down all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of their reproductive power. ¹
