Isaiah 5:3-5

Contemporary English Version

³ Listen, people of Jerusalem
    and of Judah!
You be the judge of me
    and my vineyard.
⁴ What more could I have done
    for my vineyard?
I hoped for sweet grapes,
but bitter grapes
    were all that grew.

⁵ Now I will let you know
    what I am going to do.
I will cut down the hedge
    and tear down the wall.
My vineyard will be trampled
    and left in ruins.
