Isaiah 5:1–6
Now will I sing to amy wellbeloved ba song of my beloved touching chis vineyard.
aMy wellbeloved hath a vineyard in †a very fruitful hill:
2 And dhe ||fenced it, and egathered out the stones thereof,
And dplanted it with fthe choicest vine,
And dbuilt a tower in the midst of it,
And dalso †made ga winepress therein:
And hhe looked that it should bring forth grapes,
And it brought forth wild grapes.
3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah,
Judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.
4 What could have been done more to my vineyard,
That I have not done in it?
Wherefore, hwhen I looked that it should bring forth grapes,
Brought it forth wild grapes?
5 And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard:
I will take away ithe hedge thereof, and jit shall be eaten up;
And kbreak down the wall thereof, and it shall be †trodden down:
It shall not be pruned, nor digged;
But there shall come up lbriers and thorns:
I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
