Isaiah 5:1-7 (ESV)

Provision

1: Let me sing for my beloved my love song concerning his vineyard:
My beloved had a vineyard on a very fertile hill.

2: He dug it and cleared it of stones, and planted it with choice vines;
he built a watchtower in the midst of it, and hewed out a wine vat in it;
and he looked for it to yield grapes, but it yielded wild grapes.

Confrontation

3: And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard.

4: What more was there to do for my vineyard, that I have not done in it?
When I looked for it to yield grapes, why did it yield wild grapes?

Judgement

5: And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard.
I will remove its hedge, and it shall be devoured;
I will break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down.

6: I will make it a waste; it shall not be pruned or hoed, and briers and thorns shall grow up;
I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

Epilogue

7: For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are his pleasant planting;
and he looked for justice, but behold, bloodshed; for righteousness, but behold, an outcry!
