Let me sing for my well-beloved a song of my beloved concerning his vineyard .
My well-beloved had a vineyard in a very fruitful hill .

And I will lay it waste .
It shall not be pruned nor hoed ,
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 LORD of hosts is the house of Israel ,
and the men of Judah his pleasant plant .
And he looked for justice ,
but ,
behold ,
oppression ,
for righteousness ,
but ,
behold ,
a cry .
