Isaiah 5:1-3

New Century Version

5 Now I will sing for my friend a song about his vineyard.
My friend had a vineyard
    on a hill with very rich soil.
² He dug and cleared the field of stones
    and planted the best grapevines there.
He built a tower in the middle of it
    and cut out a winepress as well.
He hoped good grapes would grow there,
    but only bad ones grew.
