Isaiah 5:1-7 - The Song Of The Vineyard

¹ I will sing now to my beloved a song of my love for his vineyard. There was a vineyard to my beloved in the horn of the son of oil: ² And he will dig it up, and he will free it from stones, and he will plant it with a vine of purple grapes, and build a tower in its midst, and he will also hew out a wine-vat in it: and he will wait for grapes to be made, and it will make wild grapes.

³ And now, ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge ye now, between me and between my vineyard ⁴ What to do more to my vineyard, and did I not in it? wherefore I waited for grapes to be made, and it will make wild grapes. ⁵ And now I will make known to you now what I do to my vineyard, taking away its hedge, and it was for consuming, breaking down its wall, and it was for a treading down. ⁶ And I will make it a desolation; it shall not be pruned and it shall not be dressed, and there came up sharp points and thorns: and upon the clouds I will command from raining rain upon it ⁷ For the vineyard of Jehovah of armies is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah the plant of his pleasures: and he will wait for judgment, and behold bloodshed; for justice, and behold a cry.
