² And he dug it and cleared it of stones,
    and he planted it with choice vines,^[a]
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^[b] of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard.
⁴ What more was there to do for my vineyard that I have not done in it?
    Why did I hope for it to yield grapes, and it yielded wild grapes?
