And now, please let Me tell you what I will do to My vineyard:
(A)I will take away its hedge, and it shall be burned;
And break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down.
I will lay it (B)waste;
It shall not be pruned or [a]dug,
But there shall come up briers and (C)thorns.
I will also command the clouds
That they rain no rain on it.”

For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel,
And the men of Judah are His pleasant plant.
He looked for justice, but behold, oppression;
For righteousness, but behold, [b]a cry for help.
