1. Now I will sing for my friend a song about his vineyard.My friend had a vineyardon a hill with very rich soil.
2. He dug and cleared the field of stonesand planted the best grapevines there.He built a tower in the middle of itand cut out a winepress as well.He hoped good grapes would grow there,but only bad ones grew.
3. My friend says, “You people living in Jerusalem,and you people of Judah,judge between me and my vineyard.
