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.

Is it useful for anything? 5 Even when it was whole, it could not be made into anything useful. How much less can it be used after the fire has consumed it and it is charred! 6 Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says: As the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so have I given the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 7 I will set my face against them.
