Isaiah 5:1

That Your beloved may be rescued, Save with Your right hand, and answer us!

You removed a vine from Egypt; You drove out the nations and then You planted it.

“Many shepherds have ruined My vineyard; They have trampled down My portion; They have made My desired portion A desolate wilderness.

“Son of man, how is the wood of the vine better than any wood of a branch which is among the trees of the forest?

Israel is a luxuriant vine; He produces fruit for himself. The more abundant his fruit, The more altars he abounded; The better his land, The better he made the sacred pillars.

“Listen to another parable. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard and put a wall around it and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and rented it out to vine-growers and went on a journey.

And He began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard and put a wall around it, and dug a vat under the wine press and built a tower, and rented it out to vine-growers and went on a journey.

“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vine-grower.
