² He dug it, cleared it of stones,
    and planted it with choice red vines.
In its midst he built a watchtower
    and also hewed out a winepress.
He expected it to yield a rich crop of grapes,
    but the only thing it brought forth was wild grapes.
³ And now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and people of Judah,
    I ask you to judge between me and my vineyard.
⁴ What more could I have done for my vineyard
    that I did not do?
When I expected it to yield choice grapes,
    why did it bring forth wild grapes?
