Isaiah 5:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴ What more could I have done for my vineyard
    that I did not do?
When I expected it to yield choice grapes,
    why did it bring forth wild grapes?
⁵ Now listen to me as I tell you
    what I am planning to do to my vineyard.
I will take away its hedge
    and use it for grazing.
I will knock down its wall
    and let it be trampled upon.
⁶ I will let it go to waste;
    it will be neither pruned nor hoed,
    but left overgrown with briars and thorns.
I will also command the clouds
    not to allow any rain to fall upon it.
