Isaiah 5:3-7
New International Version
3 “Now you dwellers in Jerusalem and people of Judah,
judge between me and my vineyard.(A)
4 What more could have been done for my vineyard
than I have done for it?(B)
When I looked for good grapes,
why did it yield only bad?(C)
5 Now I will tell you
what I am going to do to my vineyard:
I will take away its hedge,
and it will be destroyed;(D)
I will break down its wall,(E)
and it will be trampled.(F)
6 I will make it a wasteland,(G)
neither pruned nor cultivated,
and briers and thorns(H) will grow there.
I will command the clouds
not to rain(I) on it.”
Isaiah 5:3-7
King James Version
3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.
4 What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
5 And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:
6 And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
7 For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.
