Isaiah 5:2
English Standard Version
2 He dug it and cleared it of stones,
and planted it with (A)choice vines;
he built a watchtower in the midst of it,
and hewed out a wine vat in it;
and (B)he looked for it to yield grapes,
but it yielded wild grapes.
Isaiah 5:2

2 He dug it all around, cleared it of stones,
And planted it with [a]the (A)choicest vine.
And He built a tower in the middle of it,
And also carved out a [b]wine vat in it;
Then He (B)expected it to produce good grapes,
But it produced only [c]worthless ones.
