The Song of the Vineyard: Israel's Failure

Isaiah 5:1-7

5
Chapter 5
1 I will sing, please, to my beloved the song of my beloved concerning his vineyard. My beloved had a vineyard on a horn son of oil. 2 And he cleared it and he stoned it and he planted it with choice vine and he built a tower in its midst and also a winepress he hewed in it and he waited to make grapes and it made worthless things. 3 And now, inhabitant of Jerusalem and man of Judah, judge, please, between me and my vineyard. 4 What more could I have done to my vineyard that I did not do in it? Why did I hope for it to make grapes, and it made wild grapes? 5 And now I will make you know, please, what I have done to my vineyard: I will remove its hedge and it will be for purging; I will breach its wall and it will be for trampling. 6 And I will make it a desolation; it will not be sung over nor hoed, and briers and thistles will come up, and upon the clouds I command the rain not to rain upon it. 7 For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the man of Judah is the planting of his delight; and he waited for legal justice, but behold bloodshed, for righteousness, but behold a cry.
