God tended His vineyard carefully -- He removed all the rocks from the soil, He planted the best vines, He treated them well.
But they produced inferior (wild) grapes. He is tired of it now, He will let the walls break down, and burn the field. No more protection for them.
People who build lots of houses, and are generally rich and prideful (I think that is what it is talking about it...) are doomed -- God will take them down and exalt Himself not them.
Also doomed are people who call bad good and call good bad, and people who are known for handling alcohol well. He condemns you if you get up just to drink.
After Israel is completely ruined by the fire that burns down the vineyard, God will invite foreigners to come and conquer them.
about God:
He cares for His people, His expectations that they would follow Him are reasonable.
He is called "Lord of Hosts", and will be exalted in judgement.
verse:
...But they do not regard the work of the LORD, Nor consider the operation of His hands.
