And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, it shall even be for briers and thorns.
And in that day, even the places where there used to be a thousand grapevines worth a thousand pieces of silver will be overgrown with thorns and weeds.
God is warning that the valuable, productive vineyards will become worthless wasteland as judgment for the nation's disobedience.
