Isaiah 5:3-6
New King James Version
3 “And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah,
(A)Judge, please, between Me and My vineyard.
4 What more could have been done to My vineyard
That I have not done in (B)it?
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:
(C)I 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 (D)waste;
It shall not be pruned or [a]dug,
But there shall come up briers and (E)thorns.
I will also command the clouds
That they rain no rain on it.”

3 “And now, you inhabitants of Jerusalem and people of Judah,
(A)Judge between Me and My vineyard.
4 (B)What more was there to do for My vineyard [a]that I have not done in it?
Why, when I expected it to produce good grapes did it produce [b]worthless ones?
5 So now let Me tell you what I am going to do to My vineyard:
I will (C)remove its hedge and it will be consumed;
I will (D)break down its wall and it will become (E)trampled ground.
6 I will (F)lay it waste;
It will not be pruned nor hoed,
But briars and thorns will come up.
I will also command the clouds not to (G)rain on it.”

King James Version
3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.
4 What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
5 And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:
6 And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
