Isaiah 5:2
Berean Standard Bible
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!
Context
1I will sing for my beloved a song of his vineyard:
My beloved had a vineyard
on a very fertile hill. 2He 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. 4What 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?
