Isaiah 5:4-7
New King James Version
Isaiah 5:4-7
New King James Version
4 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?
5 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.
6 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.”
7 For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel,
And the men of Judah are His pleasant plant.
He looked for justice, but behold, oppression;
For righteousness, but behold, [b]a cry for help.

New American Standard Bible
4 (A)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 (B)remove its hedge and it will be consumed;
I will (C)break down its wall and it will become (D)trampled ground.
6 I will (E)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 (F)rain on it.”
7 For the (G)vineyard of the Lord of armies is the house of Israel,
And the people of Judah are His delightful plant.
So He waited for justice, but behold, there was (H)bloodshed;
For righteousness, but behold, a cry for help.

4
“What more could have been done for My vineyard that I have not done in it?
When I expected it to produce good grapes, why did it yield worthless ones?
5
“So now let me tell you what I am going to do to My vineyard:
I will take away its thorn-hedge, and it will be burned up;
I will break down its [a]stone wall and it will be trampled down [by enemies].
6
“I will turn it into a wasteland;
It will not be pruned or cultivated,
But briars and thorns will come up.
I will also command the clouds not to rain on it.”
7
For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house (nation) of Israel
And the men of Judah are His delightful planting [which He loves].
So He looked for justice, but in fact, [He saw] bloodshed and lawlessness;
[He looked] for righteousness, but in fact, [He heard] a cry of distress and oppression.

4 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)
5 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)
6 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.”

Isaiah 5:4-7
King James Version
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.
7 For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.
