noyes - Isaiah:5:1-7

noyes@Isaiah:5:1 @ Let me sing now a song respecting my friend, A song respecting my friend touching his vineyard. My friend had a vineyard On a very fruitful hill;

noyes@Isaiah:5:2 @ He digged it, and cleared it of stones, And planted it with the choicest vine, And built a tower in the midst of it, And hewed out a winepress therein; Then he looked that it should bring forth its grapes, But it brought forth sour grapes.

noyes@Isaiah:5:3 @ And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, Judge ye between me and my vineyard!

noyes@Isaiah:5:4 @ What could have been done for my vineyard That I have not done for it? Why, then, when I looked that it should bring forth its grapes, Brought it forth sour grapes?

noyes@Isaiah:5:5 @ But come now, and I will tell you What I mean to do with my vineyard. I will take away its hedge, and it shall be eaten up; I will break down its wall, and it shall be trodden down!

noyes@Isaiah:5:6 @ And I will make it a waste; It shall not be pruned, nor digged, But shall grow up into thorns and briers; I will also command the clouds That they shed no rain upon it.

noyes@Isaiah:5:7 @ The vineyard of Jehovah of hosts is the house of Israel, And the men of Judah the plant of his delight. He looked for justice, and behold, bloodshed! For righteousness, and behold, outcry!
