⁵ Now I will tell you
    what I am going to do to my vineyard:
I will take away its hedge,
    and it will be destroyed;^(A)
I will break down its wall,^(B)
    and it will be trampled.^(C)
6 I will make it a wasteland,^(D)
    neither pruned nor cultivated,
    and briers and thorns^(E) will grow there.
I will command the clouds
    not to rain^(F) on it.”

⁷ The vineyard^(G) of the Lord Almighty
    is the nation of Israel,
and the people of Judah
    are the vines he delighted in.
And he looked for justice,^(H) but saw bloodshed;
    for righteousness,^(I) but heard cries of distress.^(J)
