ISAIAH 5:1-7

« Isaiah 4 | Isaiah 5 | Isaiah 6 »

The Vineyard of the Lord Destroyed

on a very fertile hill.

My beloved had a vineyard

my love song concerning his vineyard:

Let me sing for my beloved

but it yielded wild grapes.

and he looked for it to yield grapes,

and hewed out a wine vat in it;

he built a watchtower in the midst of it,

and planted it with choice vines;

He dug it and cleared it of stones,

judge between me and my vineyard.

and men of Judah,

And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem

4

What more was there to do for my vineyard,

that I have not done in it?

When I looked for it to yield grapes,

why did it yield wild grapes?
