2 Nephi 15:1

And then will I sing to my well-beloved

a song of my beloved, touching his vineyard.

My well-beloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill.

2 Nephi 15:2

And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof,

and planted it with the choicest vine,

and built a tower in the midst of it,

and also made a wine-press therein;

and he looked that it should bring forth grapes,

and it brought forth wild grapes.

2 Nephi 15:3

And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah,

judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.

2 Nephi 15:4

What could have been done more to my vineyard that I have not done in it?

Wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes

it brought forth wild grapes.

2 Nephi 15:5

And now go to;

I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard —

I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up;

and I will break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down;

2 Nephi 15:6

And I will lay it waste;

it shall not be pruned nor digged;

but there shall come up briers and thorns;

I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

2 Nephi 15:7

For the vineyard of the Lord of Hosts is the house of Israel,

and the men of Judah his pleasant plant;

and he looked for judgment, and behold, oppression;

for righteousness, but behold, a cry.
