Isaiah 5:2-4
Living Bible

2 He plowed it and took out all the rocks and planted his vineyard with the choicest vines. He built a watchtower and cut a winepress in the rocks. Then he waited for the harvest, but the grapes that grew were wild and sour and not at all the sweet ones he expected.

3 Now, men of Jerusalem and Judah, you have heard the case! You be the judges! 4 What more could I have done? Why did my vineyard give me wild grapes instead of sweet?

New International Version

2 He dug it up and cleared it of stones
    and planted it with the choicest vines.(A)
He built a watchtower(B) in it
    and cut out a winepress(C) as well.
Then he looked for a crop of good grapes,
    but it yielded only bad fruit.(D)

3 “Now you dwellers in Jerusalem and people of Judah,
    judge between me and my vineyard.(E)
4 What more could have been done for my vineyard

When I looked for good grapes,
    why did it yield only bad?(G)
