A story is told. The loved one looked for a crop of good grapes in his vineyard, but all it yielded was bad fruit.
That's us. We are suppose to be the good grapes that God produced but as we are consumed by sin we develop into the bad fruit. Easy metaphor to understand.
For the rest of the passage, it tells us of what God did to this vineyard that produced a bad crop. To summarize, he wiped it all out in hopes to get rid of this disease-- this sin-- that prevents the vineyard from producing good fruit.
Although this was written in the Old Testament, it foreshadows how the Son, Jesus, comes down to wipe away sin for mankind. His coming is not as destructive as how it is depicted in the passage but His love for us is mighty and powerful... indeed destructive to sin. Clearly the Gospel is highlighted and mentioned as early as in the book of Isaiah, and even earlier. How great is the love of God for me.
