4 aWhat more was there to do for my vineyard,that I have not done in it?
bWhen I looked for it to yield grapes,
why did it yield wild grapes?
5 And now I will tell you
what I will do to my vineyard.
I will remove cits hedge,
and it shall be devoured; ▼
▼Or grazed over; compare Exodus 22:5
eI will break down its wall,
and it shall be trampled down.

Why should it use up the ground?’ 8And he answered him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and put on manure. 9Then if it should bear fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.’”John 15:2
