Isaiah:5:1-7
rsv@Isaiah:5:1 @ Let me sing for my beloved a love song concerning his vineyard: My beloved had a vineyard on a very fertile hill.
rsv@Isaiah:5:2 @ He digged it and cleared it of stones, and planted it with choice vines; he built a watchtower in the midst of it, and hewed out a wine vat in it; and he looked for it to yield grapes, but it yielded wild grapes.
rsv@Isaiah:5:3 @ And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard.
rsv@Isaiah:5:4 @ What more was there to do for my vineyard, that I have not done in it? When I looked for it to yield grapes, why did it yield wild grapes?
rsv@Isaiah:5:5 @ And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will remove its hedge, and it shall be devoured; I will break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down.
rsv@Isaiah:5:6 @ I will make it a waste; it shall not be pruned or hoed, and briers and thorns shall grow up; I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
rsv@Isaiah:5:7 @ For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are his pleasant planting; and he looked for justice, but behold, bloodshed; for righteousness, but behold, a cry!
