What does Isaiah 5:7 mean?

The vineyard of the Lord Almighty is the nation of Israel, and the people of Judah are the garden he delighted in. He looked for justice, but saw bloodshed; for righteousness, but heard cries of distress. Isaiah 5:7 - Modern Text Bible

(Isaiah explains the metaphor: God wanted his people to live right and treat others fairly, but instead he found violence and suffering.)
