Isaiah 5:4-6

Easy-to-Read Version

⁴What more could I do for my vineyard?
    I did everything I could.
I hoped for good grapes to grow,
    but there were only rotten ones.
    Why did that happen?

⁵“Now I will tell you
    what I will do to my vineyard:
I will pull up the thornbushes that protect it,
    and I will burn them.
I will break down the stone wall
    and use the stones for a walkway.
⁶I will turn my vineyard into useless land.
    No one will care for the plants or work in the field.
    Weeds and thorns will grow there.
I will command the clouds
    not to rain on it.”
