Isaiah 5:1-6 (English Standard Version)
View In My BibleThe Vineyard of the Lord Destroyed
1 Let me sing for my beloved my love song concerning his vineyard: My beloved had 1a vineyard on a very fertile hill. 2 He dug it and cleared it of stones, and planted it with 2choice vines; he built a watchtower in the midst of it, and hewed out a wine vat in it; and 3he looked for it to yield grapes, but it yielded wild grapes. 3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard. 4 4What more was there to do for my vineyard, that I have not done in it? 5When I looked for it to yield grapes, why did it yield wild grapes? 5 And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will remove 6its hedge, and it shall be devoured;a 7I will break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down. 6 I will make it a waste; it shall not be pruned or hoed, and 8briers and thorns shall grow up; 9I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.The English Standard Version is published with the permission of Good News Publishers.
