Commentary on Isaiah 5:3

Theological / Devotional

Men of Judah. Isaiah continues to address the men of Judah and Jerusalem (see chs. 1:1; 2:1; 3:1; 4:3, 4), those who professed to be the people of God. The song of the vineyard, as such, is now ended, and the Lord, the “beloved” of that song, speaks to His people through the prophet.

Judge. Zion is called upon to render a verdict upon herself (see Matt. 21:40, 41). God again invites His people to reason with Him (see Isa. 1:18). His plea is just, and they will of necessity admit His justice — and their own guilt — if they squarely face the facts.
