Isaiah 5:2-7

2And he fencedH5823 it, and gathered out the stonesH5619 thereof, and plantedH5193 it with the choicest vineH8321, and builtH1129 a towerH4026 in the midstH8432 of it, and also madeH2672 a winepressH3342 therein: and he lookedH6960 that it should bring forthH6213 grapesH6025, and it brought forthH6213 wild grapesH891.12

3And now, O inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and menH376 of JudahH3063, judgeH8199, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyardH3754.

4What could have been doneH6213 more to my vineyardH3754, that I have not doneH6213 in it? whereforeH4069, when I lookedH6960 that it should bring forthH6213 grapesH6025, brought it forthH6213 wild grapesH891?

5And now go to; I will tellH3045 you what I will doH6213 to my vineyardH3754: I will take awayH5493 the hedgeH4881 thereof, and it shall be eaten upH1197; and break downH6555 the wallH1447 thereof, and it shall be trodden downH4823:3

6And I will layH7896 it wasteH1326: it shall not be prunedH2168, nor diggedH5737; but there shall come upH5927 briersH8068 and thornsH7898: I will also commandH6680 the cloudsH5645 that they rainH4305 no rainH4306 upon it.

7For the vineyardH3754 of YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635 is the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and the menH376 of JudahH3063 his pleasantH8191 plantH5194: and he lookedH6960 for judgmentH4941, but behold oppressionH4939; for righteousnessH6666, but behold a cryH6818.45
