Isaiah 5 · Grade 3
Wild Grapes
Read the Story
Isaiah sang a song about a vineyard. The owner dug it up and gathered out its stones. He planted it with the choicest vine. He built a tower in the middle of it. He looked for it to yield grapes, but it yielded wild grapes.
The owner asked, "What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it?" Then Isaiah explained the song. The vineyard of Yahweh is the house of Israel. God looked for justice and righteousness. But he found oppression and a cry of distress.
Isaiah gave warnings called woes. He warned those who call evil good, and good evil. He warned those who are wise in their own eyes. He warned those who take money to let the guilty go free. They had rejected the law of Yahweh.
