Isaiah 5:3-5

Easy-to-Read Version

³ My friend said, “You people living in Jerusalem and you people of Judah,^[a]
    think about me and my vineyard.
⁴ What more could I do for my vineyard?
    I did everything I could.
I hoped for good grapes to grow,
    but there were only rotten ones.
    Why did that happen?

⁵ “Now I will tell you
    what I will do to my vineyard:
I will pull up the thornbushes that protect it,
    and I will burn them.
I will break down the stone wall
    and use the stones for a walkway.
