Isaiah 27:3-5

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

³     I, the Lord, am its keeper;
    every moment I water it.
I guard it night and day
    so that no one can harm it;
⁴     I have no wrath.
If it gives me thorns and briers,
    I will march to battle against it.
    I will burn it up.
⁵ Or else let it cling to me for protection,
    let it make peace with me,
    let it make peace with me.
