Now will I
sing to my
wellbeloved a
song of my
beloved touching his
vineyard. My
wellbeloved hath a
vineyard in a very
fruitful* hill:

And he
fenced it, and gathered out the
stones thereof, and
planted it with the choicest
vine, and
built a
tower in the
midst of it, and also
made a
winepress therein: and he
looked that it should bring
forth grapes, and it brought
forth wild
grapes.

And now, O
inhabitants of
Jerusalem, and
men of
Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my
vineyard.

What could have been
done more to my
vineyard, that I have not
done in it?
wherefore, when I
looked that it should bring
forth grapes, brought it
forth wild
grapes?

And now go to; I will
tell you what I will
do to my
vineyard: I will take
away the
hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten
up; and break
down the
wall thereof, and it shall be trodden
down:

And I will
lay it
waste: it shall not be
pruned, nor
digged; but there shall come
up briers and
thorns: I will also
command the
clouds that they
rain no
rain upon it.

For the
vineyard of the
LORD of
hosts is the
house of
Israel, and the
men of
Judah his
pleasant plant: and he
looked for
judgment, but behold
oppression; for
righteousness, but behold a
cry.
