The vineyard represents the house of Israel, as seen in <a href="/isaiah/5-7.htm">Isaiah 5:7</a>. The imagery of a vineyard is common in Scripture, symbolizing God's people and His care for them (<a href="/psalms/80-8.htm">Psalm 80:8-16</a>; <a href="/matthew/21-33.htm">Matthew 21:33-41</a>). The owner of the vineyard, God, is about to take action due to the unfruitfulness and rebellion of His people.I will take away its hedge, The hedge symbolizes protection and divine favor. In ancient times, vineyards were often surrounded by hedges or walls to protect them from animals and thieves. Removing the hedge indicates the withdrawal of God's protection, leaving the vineyard vulnerable. This reflects the consequences of Israel's disobedience and idolatry, as seen in <a href="/deuteronomy/28-15.htm">Deuteronomy 28:15-68</a>, where blessings and curses are outlined based on Israel's faithfulness.and it will be consumed; The consumption of the vineyard signifies destruction and desolation. This can be seen as a prophetic warning of the coming invasions and exiles that Israel would face, particularly by the Assyrians and Babylonians. The imagery of consumption also points to the spiritual decay and moral corruption that had overtaken the nation, leading to its downfall.I will tear down its wall, The wall, like the hedge, represents security and separation from external threats. Tearing down the wall indicates a complete exposure to danger and judgment. This act is reminiscent of the destruction of Jerusalem and its walls by the Babylonians in 586 BC, as recorded in <a href="/2_kings/25-10.htm">2 Kings 25:10</a>. It serves as a metaphor for the removal of divine protection due to persistent sin.and it will be trampled. Trampling suggests utter devastation and humiliation. This imagery is consistent with the fate of a neglected vineyard, overrun and destroyed. It also foreshadows the trampling of Jerusalem by foreign powers, as prophesied in <a href="/daniel/8-13.htm">Daniel 8:13</a> and fulfilled in various historical invasions. The trampling is a consequence of Israel's failure to uphold their covenant with God, highlighting the seriousness of their spiritual apostasy.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/i/isaiah.htm">Isaiah</a> A major prophet in the Old Testament, Isaiah is the author of the book and serves as God's messenger to the people of Judah and Jerusalem. 2. <a href="/topical/t/the_vineyard.htm">The Vineyard</a> Symbolic of the nation of Israel, the vineyard represents God's chosen people whom He has nurtured and protected. 3. <a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a> The speaker in this verse, God is depicted as the owner of the vineyard, expressing His judgment and disappointment over Israel's unfaithfulness. 4. <a href="/topical/j/judah_and_jerusalem.htm">Judah and Jerusalem</a> The primary audience of Isaiah's prophecy, representing the southern kingdom of Israel during a time of moral and spiritual decline. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_hedge_and_wall.htm">The Hedge and Wall</a> Metaphors for God's protection and provision for Israel, which He threatens to remove due to their disobedience.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/g/god's_expectation_of_fruitfulness.htm">God's Expectation of Fruitfulness</a> God expects His people to bear spiritual fruit, reflecting His character and purposes.

The address is still smooth and persuasive up to the word "vineyard." Then there is a sudden change; the style becomes abrupt, the tone fierce and menacing. "Let me tell you what I will do to my vineyard: break down its hedge, that it be grazed on; destroy its wall, that it be trampled underfoot," etc. The hedge... the wall. Vine-yards were usually protected either by a hedge of thorns, commonly of the prickly pear, or else by a wall; but the rabbis say that in some cases, for additional security, they were surrounded by both. God had given his vineyard all the protection possible. <a href="/commentaries/isaiah/5-5.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>Now וְעַתָּה֙ (wə·‘at·tāh) Conjunctive waw | Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6258.htm">Strong's 6258: </a> At this time I will tell you אוֹדִֽיעָה־ (’ō·w·ḏî·‘āh-) Verb - Hifil - Imperfect Cohortative - first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3045.htm">Strong's 3045: </a> To know what אֲשֶׁר־ (’ă·šer-) Pronoun - relative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_834.htm">Strong's 834: </a> Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order that I אֲנִ֥י (’ă·nî) Pronoun - first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_589.htm">Strong's 589: </a> I am about to do עֹשֶׂ֖ה (‘ō·śeh) Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6213.htm">Strong's 6213: </a> To do, make to My vineyard: לְכַרְמִ֑י (lə·ḵar·mî) Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular construct | first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3754.htm">Strong's 3754: </a> A garden, vineyard I will take away הָסֵ֤ר (hā·sêr) Verb - Hifil - Infinitive absolute <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5493.htm">Strong's 5493: </a> To turn aside its hedge, מְשׂוּכָּתוֹ֙ (mə·śū·kā·ṯōw) Noun - feminine singular construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4881.htm">Strong's 4881: </a> A hedge and it will be וְהָיָ֣ה (wə·hā·yāh) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1961.htm">Strong's 1961: </a> To fall out, come to pass, become, be consumed; לְבָעֵ֔ר (lə·ḇā·‘êr) Preposition-l | Verb - Piel - Infinitive construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1197.htm">Strong's 1197: </a> To kindle, consume, to be, brutish I will tear down פָּרֹ֥ץ (pā·rōṣ) Verb - Qal - Infinitive absolute <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6555.htm">Strong's 6555: </a> To break through its wall, גְּדֵר֖וֹ (gə·ḏê·rōw) Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1447.htm">Strong's 1447: </a> A circumvallation, an inclosure and it will be וְהָיָ֥ה (wə·hā·yāh) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1961.htm">Strong's 1961: </a> To fall out, come to pass, become, be trampled. לְמִרְמָֽס׃ (lə·mir·mās) Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4823.htm">Strong's 4823: </a> Trampling place, trampling <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/isaiah/5-5.htm">Isaiah 5:5 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/isaiah/5-5.htm">Isaiah 5:5 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/isaiah/5-5.htm">Isaiah 5:5 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/isaiah/5-5.htm">Isaiah 5:5 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/isaiah/5-5.htm">Isaiah 5:5 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/isaiah/5-5.htm">Isaiah 5:5 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/isaiah/5-5.htm">Isaiah 5:5 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/isaiah/5-5.htm">Isaiah 5:5 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/isaiah/5-5.htm">Isaiah 5:5 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/isaiah/5-5.htm">Isaiah 5:5 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/isaiah/5-5.htm">OT Prophets: Isaiah 5:5 Now I will tell you what (Isa Isi Is)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/isaiah/5-4.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Isaiah 5:4"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Isaiah 5:4" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/isaiah/5-6.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Isaiah 5:6"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Isaiah 5:6" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
