The Key Word — כְּרֶם, keremgenerated
The word כְּרֶם (kerem) means 'vineyard' and signifies a cultivated plot of land, particularly for grapevines. It carries connotations of care and expectation, as vineyards require attention and nurturing to thrive.
In this verse, the vineyard represents Israel, and the impending actions described indicate a loss of protection and a shift towards destruction. The use of this metaphor highlights the relationship between God and His people, emphasizing their responsibilities.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb אוֹדִֽיעָה, o.di.'ah — let me make known — governs the whole sentence, with multiple clauses detailing what is to be revealed. The structure emphasizes the immediacy of the speaker's intention.
The use of conjunctions and particles throughout the sentence connects the actions and the subjects, indicating a sequence of events that lead to the judgment of the vineyard.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the Hebrew כְּרֶם is rendered as ἀμπελῶνα, ampelōna, which also means 'vineyard' but carries a slightly different connotation in Greek literature, emphasizing the cultivation aspect.
The choice of ἀναγγελῶ for אוֹדִֽיעָה suggests a formal announcement, reinforcing the weight of the declaration being made against Israel.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Isaiah 5:5 reveals God's intention to act against His vineyard, which represents Israel. He will remove its protective hedge and tear down its wall, leading to destruction and trampling. This metaphor illustrates the relationship between God and His people and the consequences of their actions.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
The vineyard symbolizes Israel, representing God's people and their responsibilities under His care.
Removing the hedge signifies withdrawing protection and allowing judgment to come upon the people for their failure to produce good fruit.
Vineyards are often used in the Bible to illustrate God's care, expectations, and the consequences of disobedience, making the metaphor powerful and relatable.
The wall represents a barrier of protection, and tearing it down indicates vulnerability to external threats and judgment.

Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5) I will take away the hedge . . .—This involved the throwing open of the vineyard to be as grazing land which all the wild bulls of Bashan—i.e., all the enemies of Zion—might trample on (Ezekiel 34:18). The interpretation of the parable implies that there was to be the obliteration, at least for some time and in some measure, of the distinctness and independence of the nation’s life. (Comp. Hosea 3:4, for a like sentence in another form.)

CambridgeThe Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges1–7. The Parable of the Vineyard and its ApplicationOne of the finest exhibitions of rhetorical skill and power which the book contains. The prophet appears in the guise of a minstrel before an assemblage of his countrymen, and proceeds to recite the unfortunate experience of a “friend” of his with his vineyard. The simple story, told in light popular verse, disarms the suspicions of the crowd, and the singer, having secured their sympathy, demands a verdict on the course which a man might be expected to pursue with so refractory a vineyard as this (Isaiah 5:3). The answer was so obvious that the people, like our Lord’s hearers on a similar occasion (Matthew 21:41), had practically assented…
