Isaiah 5:2-4

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²He dug it and cleared it of stones,
    and planted it with choice vines;
he built a watchtower in the midst of it,
    and hewed out a wine vat in it;
he expected it to yield grapes,
    but it yielded wild grapes.

³And now, inhabitants of Jerusalem
    and people of Judah,
judge between me
    and my vineyard.
⁴What more was there to do for my vineyard
    that I have not done in it?
When I expected it to yield grapes,
    why did it yield wild grapes?
