In a manner similar to the Song of Songs (written approximately 300 years earlier), the vineyard represents a bride (Song 2:15; 8:12). The explanation is given in verse seven: Israel is Jehovah\u2019s vineyard. He planted her expecting a great harvest of sweet grapes but instead received only inedible, sour fruit. Because of this he promised to give up on his vineyard, allowing it to go wild, ravaged by animals, weeds, and drought.<\/p><p>The <em>second<\/em> section of the chapter contains a series of six \u201cwoes\u201d on various sins that the Israelites were committing in Isaiah\u2019s day, some with an appropriate punishment.
