7 For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts
is the house of Israel,
and the men of Judah
are his pleasant planting;
and he looked for justice,
but behold, bloodshed;
for righteousness,
but behold, an outcry!
Passage themes
God's chosen people — the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel
God's delight — his pleasant plant
The expected fruit — he looked for judgment
The judgment of injustice — but behold oppression
God hears the oppressed — for righteousness, but behold a cry
