He built a tower in its center and also carved out a winepress in it. He hoped it would produce good grapes, but it yielded only wild ones. 3 Now then, you inhabitants of Jerusalem and people of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard. 4 What more could I have done for my vineyard than I have already done? Why, when I expected it to produce good grapes, did it yield only wild ones? 5 Now let me tell you what I am about to do to my vineyard: I will remove its hedge, and it will be destroyed; I will break down its wall, and it will be trampled. 6 I will make it a wasteland; it will neither be pruned nor hoed, and briers and thorns will grow there. I will also command the clouds not to rain on it. 7 For the vineyard of the Lord of Hosts is the house of Israel, and the people of Judah are the planting of His delight.
