Isaiah 5
5 Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:
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 winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.
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, brought it forth wild grapes?
God did not corrupt His own vineyard and it was not God's will for others to corrupt His vineyard, so who did it and how?
Sinners under the influence of the devil rebelled against God's will and destroyed His vineyard so that it could not bring forth the good fruit He was seeking. What does that mean? It is an allegory illustrating the fact that when sinners rebel against God and turn to their own way instead of following Him they do it against His will, not in accordance with His will.
