Now will I sing to my beloved
A song about His vineyard
Planted on a fertile hill
He cleared it of stones
Planted the choicest vine
Built a tower in the middle
Carved out a vat for wine
He expected good grapes
But got only worthless ones!
"What more was there to do?
That I have not done?
Why when I expected good,
Did it produce wild ones?"
"Now I'll tell you what I'll do
I'll take away the hedge
And it will be consumed.
I'll break down its walls
I'll lay it waste, it won't be pruned
The ground won't be hoed
Both Briars and thorns shall grow"
He expected good grapes,
But got only worthless ones!
"What more was there to do?
That I have not done?
Why when I expected good,
Did it produce wild ones?"
"What more was there to do?
That I have not done?
Why when I expected good,
Did it produce wild ones?"
