Charles Spurgeon Commentary Isaiah 5:3-4

"And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard. 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, brought it forth wild grapes?" — Isaiah 5:3-4 (ASV)

And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard. 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, brought it forth wild grapes?

O you who profess to be his people, what more could Christ have done for you? What more could the Holy Spirit have done? What richer promises, what wiser precepts, what kinder providences, what more gracious patience? Wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes? From where did this come? The stock was good, the husbandry was wise. From where did these wild grapes come?
