Isaiah 5:4-6
The Message
3-4 “Now listen to what I’m telling you,
you who live in Jerusalem and Judah.
What do you think is going on
between me and my vineyard?
Can you think of anything I could have done
to my vineyard that I didn’t do?
When I expected good grapes,
why did I get bitter grapes?
5-6 “Well now, let me tell you
what I’ll do to my vineyard:
I’ll tear down its fence
and let it go to ruin.
I’ll knock down the gate
and let it be trampled.
I’ll turn it into a patch of weeds, untended, uncared for—
thistles and thorns will take over.
I’ll give orders to the clouds:
‘Don’t rain on that vineyard, ever!’”
Isaiah 5:4-6
New International Version
4 What more could have been done for my vineyard
than I have done for it?(A)
When I looked for good grapes,
why did it yield only bad?(B)
5 Now I will tell you
what I am going to do to my vineyard:
I will take away its hedge,
and it will be destroyed;(C)
I will break down its wall,(D)
and it will be trampled.(E)
6 I will make it a wasteland,(F)
neither pruned nor cultivated,
and briers and thorns(G) will grow there.
I will command the clouds
not to rain(H) on it.”
