Isaiah 5:5-7

King James Version

⁵And 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:

⁶And 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.

⁷For 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.

New International Version

⁵Now I will tell you
    what I am going to do to my vineyard:
I will take away its hedge,
    and it will be destroyed;^(A)
I will break down its wall,^(B)
    and it will be trampled.^(C)
⁶I will make it a wasteland,^(D)
    neither pruned nor cultivated,
    and briers and thorns^(E) will grow there.
I will command the clouds
    not to rain^(F) on it.”

⁷The vineyard^(G) of the Lord Almighty
    is the nation of Israel,
and the people of Judah
    are the vines he delighted in.
And he looked for justice,^(H) but saw bloodshed;
    for righteousness,^(I) but heard cries of distress.^(J)
