1 I will sing for my beloved my love-song concerning his vineyard: |The one I love had a vineyard on a very fertile hill. 2 He plowed its land and cleared it of stones. Then he planted it with the choicest vines, built a watchtower in the middle of it, and dug a wine vat in it; He expected it to produce good grapes, but it produced only wild ones.| 3 |So now, you inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, won't you please, between me and my vineyard. 4 What more could I do in my vineyard, that I haven't already done? When I expected it to produce good grapes, why did it yield wild ones? 5 |Now, let me tell you, won't you please, what I'm going to do to my vineyard. |I'm going to take away its protective hedge, and it will be devoured; I'll break down its wall, and it will be trampled.
