Isaiah 5:2-7

2He dugH5823 it all aroundH5823, removedH5619 its stonesH5619, And plantedH5193 it with 1the 2choicestH8321 vineH8321. And He builtH1129 a towerH4026 in the middleH8432 of it And alsoH1571 hewedH2672 out a 3wineH3342 vatH3342 in it; Then He 4expectedH6960 it to produceH6213 good grapesH6025, But it producedH6213 only 5worthlessH891 onesH891.

3“And nowH6258, O inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 and menH376 of JudahH3063, 6JudgeH8199 betweenH996 Me and My vineyardH3754.47WhatH4100 moreH5750 was there to doH6213 for My vineyardH3754 8that I have not doneH6213 in it? WhyH4069, when I expectedH6960 it to produceH6213 good grapesH6025 did it produceH6213 9worthlessH891 onesH891?5So nowH6258 let Me tellH3045 you whatH834 I am going to doH6213 to My vineyardH3754: I will 10removeH5493 its hedgeH4905 and it will be consumedH1197; I will 11breakH6555 downH6555 its wallH1447 and it will becomeH1961 12trampledH4823 groundH4823.6I will 13layH7896 it wasteH1326; It will not be prunedH2168 or hoedH5737, But briarsH8068 and thornsH7898 will comeH5927 up. I will also chargeH6680 the cloudsH5645 to 14rainH4305 noH4480 rainH4306 on it.”

7For the 15vineyardH3754 of the LordH3068 of hostsH6635 is the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 And the menH376 of JudahH3063 His delightfulH8191 plantH5194. Thus He lookedH6960 for justiceH4941, but beholdH2009, 16bloodshedH4939; For righteousnessH6666, but beholdH2009, a cryH6818 of distressH6818.
