Isaiah 5:1-7
New American Standard Bible 1995

Parable of the Vineyard

5 Let me sing now for my well-beloved
A song of my beloved concerning His vineyard.
My well-beloved had a (A)vineyard on [a]a fertile hill.
2 He dug it all around, removed its stones,
And planted it with [b]the (B)choicest vine.
And He built a tower in the middle of it
And also hewed out a [c]wine vat in it;
Then He (C)expected it to produce good grapes,
But it produced only [d]worthless ones.

3 “And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah,
(D)Judge between Me and My vineyard.
4 “(E)What more was there to do for My vineyard [e]that I have not done in it?
Why, when I expected it to produce good grapes did it produce [f]worthless ones?
5 “So now let Me tell you what I am going to do to My vineyard:
I will (F)remove its hedge and it will be consumed;
I will (G)break down its wall and it will become (H)trampled ground.
6 “I will (I)lay it waste;
It will not be pruned or hoed,
But briars and thorns will come up.
I will also charge the clouds to (J)rain no rain on it.”

7 For the (K)vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel
And the men of Judah His delightful plant.
Thus He looked for justice, but behold, (L)bloodshed;
For righteousness, but behold, a cry of distress.

Ezekiel 15:1-6
New American Standard Bible 1995

Jerusalem like a Useless Vine

15 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2 “Son of man, how is the wood of the (A)vine better than any wood of a branch which is among the trees of the forest? 3 Can wood be taken from it to make [a]anything, or can men take a peg from it on which to hang any vessel? 4 [b]If it has been put into the (B)fire for fuel, and the fire has consumed both of its ends and its middle part has been charred, is it then useful for [c]anything? 5 Behold, while it is intact, it is not made into [d]anything. How much less, when the fire has consumed it and it is charred, can it still be made into [e]anything! 6 Therefore, thus says the Lord [f]God, ‘As the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so have I given up the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
