* Now I will sing to my Beloved a song of my Beloved concerning His vineyard : My Beloved has a vineyard in a fruitful horn . * And He dug it , and cleared it of stones , and planted it with the choicest vine , and built a tower in its midst , and also hewed out a wine vat in it . And He waited for it to produce grapes , but it produced rotten grapes . * And now , O people of Jerusalem and men of Judah , I ask you , judge between Me and My vineyard . * What more could have been done to My vineyard that I have not done in it ? Who knows ? I waited for it to yield grapes , but it yielded rotten grapes . * And now I will make known to you what I will do then to My vineyard . I will take away its hedge , and it will be burned . I will breach its wall , and it will become a trampling ground . * And I will lay it waste ; it shall not be pruned nor hoed ; but briers and thorns shall come up . And I will command the clouds from raining rain on it . * For the vineyard of Jehovah of Hosts is the house of Israel , and the man of Judah is His delightful plant . And He waited for justice , but behold , bloodshed ; for righteousness , but behold , a cry !
