Song of the Vineyard

Let me sing of my beloved,
    a song of my beloved, about His vineyard.
My beloved had a vineyard
    in a very fertile hill.[a]
He dug it out and cleared its stones,
    planted it with a choice vine,
built a tower in the midst of it,
    and even cut out a winepress.
He expected it to yield good grapes,
    but it yielded worthless grapes.

He built a watchtower(C) in it
    and cut out a winepress(D) as well.
Then he looked for a crop of good grapes,
    but it yielded only bad fruit.(E)
