"So now, residents of Jerusalem, people of Judah, you decide between me and my vineyard!"
— Isaiah 5:3, NET Bible
“And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.”
“And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard. ”
“"Now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, please judge between me and my vineyard.”
“And now, O ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and ye men of Juda, judge between me and my vineyard.”
“And now, you people of Jerusalem and you men of Judah, be the judges between me and my vine-garden.”
“And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.”
A Love Song Gone Sour I will sing to my love– a song to my lover about his vineyard. My love had a vineyard on a fertile hill.
He built a hedge around it, removed its stones, and planted a vine. He built a tower in the middle of it, and constructed a winepress. He waited for it to produce edible grapes, but it produced sour ones instead.
So now, residents of Jerusalem, people of Judah, you decide between me and my vineyard!
What more can I do for my vineyard beyond what I have already done? When I waited for it to produce edible grapes, why did it produce sour ones instead?
Now I will inform you what I am about to do to my vineyard: I will remove its hedge and turn it into pasture, I will break its wall and allow animals to graze there.
I will make it a wasteland; no one will prune its vines or hoe its ground, and thorns and briers will grow there. I will order the clouds not to drop any rain on it.
