Isaiah 5:5-7
Good News Translation
5 “Here is what I am going to do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge around it, break down the wall that protects it, and let wild animals eat it and trample it down. 6 I will let it be overgrown with weeds. I will not trim the vines or hoe the ground; instead, I will let briers and thorns cover it. I will even forbid the clouds to let rain fall on it.”
7 Israel is the vineyard of the Lord Almighty;
the people of Judah are the vines he planted.
He expected them to do what was good,
but instead they committed murder.
He expected them to do what was right,
but their victims cried out for justice.
Isaiah 5:5-7

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;(A)
I will break down its wall,(B)
and it will be trampled.(C)
6 I 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.”
