Isaiah 5:2-4

2He dug the ground and he removed the stones. He planted the best vines in it. He built a tower in the middle of the vineyard so that he could watch it. He built a place to squeeze the grapes to make wine. Then he waited for the vines to make sweet grapes. But the vines made only bitter grapes.’

3So now, listen to me, you people who live in Jerusalem and in Judah. You must be the judge! Who did what was right? Was it me or my vineyard? You decide!

4I did everything that I could to help my vineyard. I could have done no more! But when I waited to get sweet grapes from the vines, there were only bitter ones! Why was that?
