5 Let me sing for my beloved
    a song of my love concerning his vineyard:
My beloved had a vineyard^[a] on a fertile hill.^[b]
2 And he dug it and cleared it of stones,
    and he planted it with choice vines,^[c]
and he built a watchtower in the middle of it,
    and he even hewed out a wine vat in it,
and he waited for it to yield grapes—
    but it yielded wild grapes.
³ And now, inhabitants of Jerusalem
    and men^[d] of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard.
