7The vineyard of the Lord who rules over all

is the nation of Israel.

The people of Judah

are the garden he takes delight in.

He kept looking for them to do what is fair.

But all he saw was blood being spilled.

He kept looking for them to do what is right.

But all he heard were cries of suffering.
