Isaiah 5:2-4
EasyEnglish Bible

2 He dug the ground and he removed the stones.
    He planted the best vines in it.
He built a tower in the middle of the vineyard
    so that he could watch it.
He built a place to squeeze the grapes
    to make wine.
Then he waited for the vines to make sweet grapes.
    But the vines made only bitter grapes.’

3 So now, listen to me, you people who live in Jerusalem and in Judah. You must be the judge! Who did what was right? Was it me or my vineyard? You decide!

4 I did everything that I could to help my vineyard. I could have done no more! But when I waited to get sweet grapes from the vines, there were only bitter ones! Why was that?
