"Grapes"

“What more was there to do for my vineyard that I have not done in it?  When I expected it to yield grapes, why did it yield wild grapes?”.

Why did the vineyard yield wild grapes?  It is a question posed by this oracle, though no answer is suggested.  We are merely told the judgment of the Lord upon the vineyard, not what could have possibly gone awry, what could have caused this vineyard so lovingly planted to have yielded such poor quality grapes that they were like wild grapes, small and bitter, of no culinary use either as food or for making wine.
