Isaiah 5:2-4

Common English Bible

² He dug it,
    cleared away its stones,
    planted it with excellent vines,
    built a tower inside it,
    and dug out a wine vat in it.
He expected it to grow good grapes—
    but it grew rotten grapes.
³ So now, you who live in Jerusalem, you people of Judah,
    judge between me and my vineyard:
⁴ What more was there to do for my vineyard
    that I haven’t done for it?
When I expected it to grow good grapes,
    why did it grow rotten grapes?
