Isaia 5:6 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 5:6

And I will lay it waste
Or "desolate", as it was by the Romans: the whole land of Judea, as well as the city and temple ( Matthew 23:38 ) , it shall not be pruned nor digged;
as vineyards are, to make them more fruitful; but no care shall be taken of it, no means made use of to cultivate it, all being ineffectual: but there shall come up briers and thorns;
sons of Belial, wicked and ungodly men; immoralities, errors, heresies, contentions, quarrels, &c. which abounded about the time of Jerusalem's destruction, and before: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon them;
by "the clouds" are meant the apostles of Christ, who were full of the doctrines of grace, from whom they dropped as rain upon the mown grass; these, when the Jews contradicted and blasphemed the Gospel, and judged themselves unworthy of it, were commanded by Christ to turn from them, and go to the Gentiles, ( Acts 13:45-47 ) ( Zechariah 14:17 Zechariah 14:18 ) ( Revelation 11:6 ) agreeably to this sense is the Targum,

``and I will command the prophets, that they do not prophesy upon them prophecy.''

Isaia 5:6 In-Context

4 Chi si dovea più fare alla mia vigna che io non vi abbia fatto? perchè ho io aspettato che facesse delle uve, ed ha fatte delle lambrusche?
5 Or dunque, io vi farò assapere ciò che io son per fare alla mia vigna. Io torrò via la sua siepe, e sarà pascolata; io romperò la sua chiusura, e sarà calpestata.
6 E la ridurrò in deserto; non sarà potata, nè zappata; e le vepri e i pruni vi monteranno; divieterò ancora alle nuvole che non ispandano pioggia sopra essa.
7 Certo, la vigna del Signore degli eserciti è la casa d’Israele, e gli uomini di Giuda son le piante delle sue delizie; egli ne ha aspettata dirittura, ed ecco lebbra; giustizia, ed ecco grido.
8 Guai a coloro che congiungono casa a casa, ed accozzano campo a campo, finchè non vi sia più luogo, e che voi soli siate stanziati in mezzo della terra!
