1. I will sing a songabout my friend's vineyardthat was on the sideof a fertile hill.
2. My friend dug the ground,removed the stones,and planted the best vines.He built a watchtowerand dug a pit in rocky groundfor pressing the grapes.He hoped they would be sweet,but bitter grapeswere all it produced.
3. Listen, people of Jerusalemand of Judah!You be the judge of meand my vineyard.
