Isaiah 5:2

God’s Disappointing Vineyard

1 Now let me sing to my Well-beloved
A song of my Beloved ^aregarding His vineyard:
My Well-beloved has a vineyard
¹On a very fruitful hill.

2 He dug it up and cleared out its stones,
And planted it with the choicest vine.
He built a tower in its midst,
And also¹ made a winepress in it;
^aSo He expected it to bring forth good grapes,
But it brought forth wild grapes.

3 “And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah,
^aJudge, please, between Me and My vineyard.

4 What more could have been done to My vineyard
That I have not done in ^ait?
Why then, when I expected it to bring forth good grapes,
Did it bring forth wild grapes?

5 And now, please let Me tell you what I will do to My vineyard:
^aI will take away its hedge, and it shall be burned;
And break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down.

6 I will lay it ^awaste;
It shall not be pruned or¹ dug,
But there shall come up briers and ^bthorns.
I will also command the clouds
That they rain no rain on it.”

7 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,¹ a cry for help.

Impending Judgment on Excesses

8 Woe to those who¹ join ^ahouse to house;
They add field to field,
Till there is no place
Where they may dwell alone in the midst of the land!

9 ^aIn my hearing the Lord of hosts said,
“Truly, many houses shall be desolate,
Great and beautiful ones, without inhabitant.
