What more could have been done to My vineyard
That I have not done in (A)it?
Why then, when I expected it to bring forth good grapes,
Did it bring forth wild grapes?
And now, please let Me tell you what I will do to My vineyard:
(B)I will take away its hedge, and it shall be burned;
And break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down.
I will lay it (C)waste;
It shall not be pruned or [a]dug,
But there shall come up briers and (D)thorns.
I will also command the clouds
That they rain no rain on it.”

  1. Isaiah 5:6 hoed

What more could have been done for my vineyard
    than I have done for it?(A)
When I looked for good grapes,
    why did it yield only bad?(B)
Now I will tell you
    what I am going to do to my vineyard:
I will take away its hedge,
    and it will be destroyed;(C)
I will break down its wall,(D)
    and it will be trampled.(E)
I will make it a wasteland,(F)
    neither pruned nor cultivated,
    and briers and thorns(G) will grow there.
I will command the clouds
    not to rain(H) on it.”
