and it hath brought forth much fruit.

But what could I have done more in my vineyard?

Have I slackened mine hand, that I have not nourished it?

and I have pruned it, and I have dunged it;

and I have stretched forth mine hand almost all the day long,

and the end draweth nigh.

And it grieveth me that I should hew down all the trees of my vineyard,

and cast them into the fire that they should be burned.

Who is it that has corrupted my vineyard?
