1 Now I will sing a song to my friend. This song is about his vineyard.My friend had a vineyardon a hill with very rich soil.
2 He dug and cleared the field of stones.He planted the best grapevines there.And he built a tower in the middle of it.He cut out a winepress as well.He hoped good grapes would grow there.But only bad grapes grew.
3 My friend says, “You people living in Jerusalem,and you men of Judah,judge between me and my vineyard.
4 What more could I have done for my vineyard?I did everything I could.I hoped for good grapes to grow.But why were there only bad grapes?
