The Song about the Vineyard

Let me sing a lovesong to my beloved about his vineyard:

My beloved had a vineyard on a fertile hill.
He dug it up, removed its stones,
    planted it with the choicest vines,
        built a watchtower in it,
            and made a winepress in it.
    Then he waited for it to produce good grapes,
        but it produced only sour, wild grapes.

Now then, you inhabitants of Jerusalem and Judah,
    judge between me and my vineyard!

    judge between me and my vineyard.(F)
