Isaiah 5:1

My greatly Beloved had a vineyard on a very fertile slope (the promised land, Canaan).(A)
Isaiah 5:2
Amplified Bible
2
He dug it all around and cleared away its stones,
And planted it with [a]the choicest vine (the people of Judah).
And He built a tower in the center of it;
And also hewed out a [b]wine vat in it.
Then He expected it to produce [the choicest] grapes,
But it produced only worthless ones.
