1 Let me sing a lovesong to my beloved about his vineyard: My beloved had a vineyard on a fertile hill. 2 He dug it up, removed its stones, planted it with the choicest vines, built a watchtower in it, and made a winepress in it. Then he waited for it to produce good grapes, but it produced only sour, wild grapes. 3 Now then, you inhabitants of Jerusalem and Judah, judge between me and my vineyard! 4 What more could have been done for my vineyard than what I have already done for it? When I waited for it to produce good grapes, why did it produce only sour, wild grapes? 5 Now then, let me tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will tear away its hedge so that it can be devoured and tear down its wall so that it can be trampled. Isaiah 5:1-5, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
