Isa 5:2 | MHM | STEP | God expected his people to produce good fruit, just like a vineyard should give good grapes. He wanted them to live good lives, full of love, justice, and true worship (Galatians 5:22,23 ). But instead, they gave him “wild grapes”—bad actions and fake religion, which were even worse than nothing at all (Deuteronomy 32:32 ). Wild grapes mean people followed their own sinful nature and pretended to be good, but their hearts were not right with God (Hebrews 12:15 ). God was disappointed because they did not bring the fruit he had every right to expect from them (Mark 11:12 ).

‏ Isaiah 5:2

God expected his people to produce good fruit, just like a vineyard should give good grapes. He wanted them to live good lives, full of love, justice, and true worship (Galatians 5:22,23 ^a). But instead, they gave him “wild grapes”—bad actions and fake religion, which were even worse than nothing at all (Deuteronomy 32:32 ^b). Wild grapes mean people followed their own sinful nature and pretended to be good, but their hearts were not right with God (Hebrews 12:15 ^c). God was disappointed because they did not bring the fruit he had every right to expect from them (Mark 11:12 ^d).
