2 My friend dug the ground,
removed the stones,
and planted the best vines.
He built a watchtower
and dug a pit in rocky ground
for pressing the grapes.
He hoped they would be sweet,
but bitter grapes
were all it produced.
Passage themes
A people set apart — he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof
Planted by God — planted it
An excellent vine — with the choicest vine
The watchtower — built a tower in the midst of it
Treading the harvest — also made a winepress therein
God expects fruit — he looked that it should bring forth grapes
