21 He said again:— The saints of the Most High shall receive the Kingdom. What shall we say concerning this? Have the children of Israel received the Kingdom of the Most High? God forbid. Or has that people come upon the clouds of heaven? This has passed away from them. For Jeremiah said concerning them:— Call them rejected silver, for the Lord has rejected them. Again he said:— He will not again regard them. And Isaiah said concerning them:— Pass by; pass by; approach not the defiled. And concerning the saints of the Most High (Daniel) said thus:— They shall inherit the Kingdom for ever. For these rested a little from the burden of kings and princes, namely, from after the death of Antiochus till the sixty-two weeks were fulfilled.
And the Son of Man came to free them and gather them together, but they did not receive Him. For He came to obtain fruit from them, and they did not give it to Him. For their vines were of the vine of Sodom and of the stock of Gomorrha, a vineyard in which thorns grew, and which bore wild grapes. Their vine was bitter, and their fruit sour. The thorns could not be softened, nor could the bitterness change to the nature of wine, nor could the sour fruit change to a sweet nature.
