Nueva Biblia Viva (NBV)

Les he presentado la historia del pueblo de Dios. Mi pueblo es la viña de la que les he hablado. Israel y Judá son su agradable parcela. Dios esperaba que le produjeran cosecha de justicia, pero halló que sólo cometieron hechos sangrientos. Esperaba que actuaran con rectitud, pero a sus oídos llegaron sólo gritos de opresión.
