Isaiah 5:3

Isaiah 5:3
And now, you people of Jerusalem and you men of Judah, be the judges between me and my vine-garden.

--------------------

Isaiah 5:1
Let me make a song about my loved one, a song of love for his vine-garden. My loved one had a vine-garden on a fertile hill:

Isaiah 5:2
And after working the earth of it with a spade, he took away its stones, and put in it a very special vine; and he put up a watchtower in the middle of it, hollowing out in the rock a place for the grape-crushing; and he was hoping that it would give the best grapes, but it gave common grapes.

Isaiah 5:5
And now, this is what I will do to my vine-garden: I will take away the circle of thorns round it, and it will be burned up; its wall will be broken down and the beasts of the field will go through it;

Isaiah 5:6
And I will make it waste; its branches will not be touched with the knife, or the earth worked with the spade; but blackberries and thorns will come up in it: and I will give orders to the clouds not to send rain on it.

Isaiah 5:7
For the vine-garden of the Lord of armies is the people of Israel, and the men of Judah are the plant of his delight: and he was looking for upright judging, and there was blood; for righteousness, and there was a cry for help.

Luke 13:6
And he made up this story for them: A certain man had a fig-tree in his garden, and he came to get fruit from it, and there was no fruit.

Psalms 80:8
You took a vine out of Egypt: driving out the nations, and planting it in their land.

Psalms 80:16
It is burned with fire; it is cut down: they are made waste by the wrath of your face.

-----

Psalms 80:15
Even to the tree which was planted by your right hand, and to the branch which you made strong for yourself.

Jeremiah 2:31
O generation, see the word of the Lord. Have I been a waste land to Israel? or a land of dark night? why do my people say, We have got loose, we will not come to you again?
