This continues the parable about the vineyard that Isaiah began in Isaiah 5:1. The one who planted the vineyard is speaking.
O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah
"You who live in Jerusalem and Judah"
judge between me and my vineyard
"decide between me and my vineyard who is right"
What more could have been done for my vineyard, that I have not done for it
Yahweh uses this question to scold the people of Jerusalem and Judah. Alternate translation: “I have done all that I could do for my vineyard.” (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
When I looked for it to bring forth good grapes, why did it produce wild grapes
Yahweh uses a question to scold the people of Jerusalem and Judah. Alternate translation: “I wanted it to make good grapes, but it only produced worthless grapes.”
