Isaiah 5:2

Read in context

Isaiah 5:1–4 · Berean Standard Bible

1 I will sing for my beloved a song of his vineyard: My beloved had a vineyard on a very fertile hill.

2 He dug it up and cleared the stones and planted the finest vines. He built a watchtower in the middle and dug out a winepress as well. He waited for the vineyard to yield good grapes, but the fruit it produced was sour!

3 “And now, O dwellers of Jerusalem and men of Judah, I exhort you to judge between Me and My vineyard.

4 What more could I have done for My vineyard than I already did for it? Why, when I expected sweet grapes, did it bring forth sour fruit?
