Isaías 5:5 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 5:5

And now, go to; I will tell you what I will do to my
vineyard
Not by bestowing fresh favours upon them, but by inflicting punishment on them, for abusing what they had received; and this he told by John Baptist, Christ, and his apostles, what he determined to do; and what he was about to do to the Jewish nation, in the utter ruin of it, ( Matthew 3:12 ) ( Luke 19:43 Luke 19:44 ) . I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up;
that is, the vineyard shall be eaten by the wild beasts that will enter into it, when the hedge is taken away; or "it shall be burnt"; that is, the hedge, being a hedge of thorns, as Jarchi and Kimchi observe; such there were about vineyards, besides the stone wall after mentioned: [and] break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down;
the vineyard, or the vines in it, see ( Psalms 80:12 Psalms 80:13 ) this is to be understood of the Lord's removing his presence, power, and protection from the Jewish nation, and leaving them naked, destitute, and helpless, and exposed to their enemies. The Targum is,

``and now I will declare to you what I will do to my people; I will cause my Shechinah, or Majesty, to remove from them, and they shall be for a spoil; and I will break down the house of their sanctuary, and they shall be for treading.''

Isaías 5:5 In-Context

3 Agora, pois, ó moradores de Jerusalém, e homens de Judá, julgai, vos peço, entre mim e a minha vinha.

4 Que mais se podia fazer � minha vinha, que eu lhe não tenha feito? e por que, esperando eu que desse uvas, veio a produzir uvas bravas?

5 Agora, pois, vos farei saber o que eu hei de fazer � minha vinha: tirarei a sua sebe, e será devorada; derrubarei a sua parede, e sera pisada;

6 e a tornarei em deserto; não será podada nem cavada, mas crescerão nela sarças e espinheiro; e �s nuvens darei ordem que não derramem chuva sobre ela.

7 Pois a vinha do Senhor dos exércitos é a casa de Israel, e os homens de Judá são a planta das suas delícias; e esperou que exercessem juízo, mas eis aqui derramamento de sangue; justiça, e eis aqui clamor.
