Isaiah 5:2
New American Standard Bible
2 He dug it all around, cleared it of stones,
And planted it with [a]the (A)choicest vine.
And He built a tower in the middle of it,
And also carved out a [b]wine vat in it;
Then He (B)expected it to produce good grapes,
But it produced only [c]worthless ones.

Isaiah 5:2
Contemporary English Version
2 My friend dug the ground,
removed the stones,
and planted the best vines.
He built a watchtower
and dug a pit in rocky ground
for pressing the grapes.
He hoped they would be sweet,
but bitter grapes
were all it produced.

Revised Standard Version
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.
