The Lord’s Vineyard

I will sing[a] for my beloved
    my love-song concerning his vineyard:

“The one I love had a vineyard
    on a very fertile hill.
He plowed its land[b] and cleared it of stones.
    Then he planted it with the choicest vines,
built a watchtower in the middle of it,
    and dug a wine vat in it;
He expected[c] it to produce good[d] grapes,
    but it produced only wild ones.”[e]

“So now, you inhabitants[f] of Jerusalem
    and men of Judah,
judge, won’t you please,
    between me and my vineyard.
