What is the Vineyard?

And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard...I will break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down…For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel…he expected justice, but saw bloodshed; righteousness, but heard a cry!

(Isaiah 5:5-7)

The cornerstone concept is derived from the first stone set in the construction of a masonry foundation, important since all other stones will be set in reference to this stone, thus determining the position of the entire structure.

The Rejected Cornerstone

It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to put confidence in mortals. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to put confidence in princes…I thank you that you have answered me and have become my salvation. The stone that the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.

Psalm 118:8–22 (NRSV)
