Isaiah:5:1-7
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
