Isaiah 5:2 in Context — Isaiah 5

1 AHORA cantaré por mi amado el cantar de mi amado á su viña. Tenía mi amado una viña en un recuesto, lugar fértil.

2 Habíala cercado, y despedregádola, y plantádola de vides escogidas: había edificado en medio de ella una torre, y también asentado un lagar en ella: y esperaba que llevase uvas, y llevó uvas silvestres.

3 Ahora pues, vecinos de Jerusalem y varones de Judá, juzgad ahora entre mí y mi viña.

4 ¿Qué más se había de hacer á mi viña, que yo no haya hecho en ella? ¿Cómo, esperando yo que llevase uvas, ha llevado uvas silvestres?
