2 He plowed the land, cleared its stones,
and planted it with the best vines.
In the middle he built a watchtower
and carved a winepress in the nearby rocks.
Then he waited for a harvest of sweet grapes,
but the grapes that grew were bitter.
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
