God’s Disappointing Vineyard
A song of my Beloved aregarding His vineyard:
My Well-beloved has a vineyard
1On a very fruitful hill.
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.
That I have not done in ait?
Why then, when I expected it to bring forth good grapes,
Did it bring forth wild grapes?
aI will take away its hedge, and it shall be burned;
And break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down.
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.”
| << Isaiah 5:2 | Isaiah 5:4 >> |
