Isaiah 5:2 (KJV)
Commentary on Isaiah 5:2
The parable details God's exhaustive preparation: fencing (protecting), gathering out stones (removing obstacles), planting choice vines (selecting the best), building a tower (providing security), and making a winepress (preparing for harvest). Despite perfect conditions, the vineyard produced 'wild grapes' (be'ushim, stinking or worthless fruit). The Hebrew wordplay contrasts expected grapes (anavim) with worthless grapes (be'ushim).
