Isaías 5:5

5 Ahora pues, dejad que os diga lo que yo he de hacer a mi viña: quitaré su vallado y será consumida; derribaré su muro y será hollada.

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 Y ahora, moradores de Jerusalén y hombres de Judá, juzgad entre mí y mi viña.

4 ¿Qué más se puede hacer por mi viña, que yo no haya hecho en ella? ¿Por qué, cuando esperaba que produjera uvas buenas, produjo uvas silvestres?

5 Ahora pues, dejad que os diga lo que yo he de hacer a mi viña: quitaré su vallado y será consumida; derribaré su muro y será hollada.

6 Y haré que quede desolada; no será podada ni labrada, y crecerán zarzas y espinos. También mandaré a las nubes que no derramen lluvia sobre ella.

7 Ciertamente, la viña del SEÑOR de los ejércitos es la casa de Israel, y los hombres de Judá su plantío delicioso. El esperaba equidad, pero he aquí derramamiento de sangre; justicia, pero he aquí clamor.
