1. I will sing to my love – a song to my lover about his vineyard.My love had a vineyardon a fertile hill.
2. He built a hedge around it, removed its stones,and planted a vine.He built a tower in the middle of it,and constructed a winepress.He waited for it to produce edible grapes,but it produced sour ones instead.
3. So now, residents of Jerusalem,people of Judah,you decide between me and my vineyard!
4. What more can I do for my vineyardbeyond what I have already done?When I waited for it to produce edible grapes,why did it produce sour ones instead?
5. Now I will inform youwhat I am about to do to my vineyard:I will remove its hedge and turn it into pasture,I will break its wall and allow animals to graze there.
