Isaiah 5:2-4
International Standard Version
Isaiah 5:2-4
International Standard Version
2 He plowed its land[a] and cleared it of stones.
Then he planted it with the choicest vines,
built a watchtower in the middle of it,
and dug a wine vat in it;
He expected[b] it to produce good[c] grapes,
but it produced only wild ones.”[d]
3 “So now, you inhabitants[e] of Jerusalem
and men of Judah,
judge, won’t you please,
between me and my vineyard.
4 What more could I do in[f] my vineyard,
that I haven’t already done?
When I expected it to produce good[g] grapes,
why did it yield[h] wild ones?[i]
