Isaiah 5:1-5

The Song of the Vineyard 1I will sing for the one I love a song about his vineyard: My loved one had a vineyard on a fertile hillside.

2He dug it up and cleared it of stones and planted it with the choicest vines. He built a watchtower in it and cut out a winepress as well. Then he looked for a crop of good grapes, but it yielded only bad fruit.

3“Now you dwellers in Jerusalem and people of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard.

4What more could have been done for my vineyard than I have done for it? When I looked for good grapes, why did it yield only bad?

5Now I will tell you what I am going to do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it will be destroyed; I will break down its wall, and it will be trampled.
