A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
PARABLE OF JEHOVAH'S VINEYARD. (Isa. 5:1-30)

to--rather, "concerning" [GESENIUS], that is, in the person of My beloved, as His representative [VITRINGA]. Isaiah gives a hint of the distinction and yet unity of the Divine Persons (compare He with I, Isa 5:2-3).

of my beloved--inspired by Him; or else, a tender song [CASTALIO]. By a slight change of reading "a song of His love" [HOUBIGANT]. "The Beloved" is Jehovah, the Second Person, the "Angel" of God the Father, not in His character as incarnate Messiah, but as God of the Jews (Exo 23:20-21; Exo 32:34; Exo 33:14).

vineyard-- (Isa 3:14; Psa 80:8, &c.). The Jewish covenant-people, separated from the nations for His glory, as the object of His peculiar care (Mat 20:1; Mat 21:33). Jesus Christ in the "vineyard" of the New Testament Church is the same as the Old Testament Angel of the Jewish covenant.

fruitful hill--literally, "a horn" ("peak," as the Swiss shreckhorn) of the son of oil; poetically, for very fruitful. Suggestive of isolation, security, and a sunny aspect. Isaiah alludes plainly to the Song of Solomon (Sol 6:3; Sol 8:11-12), in the words "His vineyard" and "my Beloved" (compare Isa 26:20; Isa 61:10, with Sol 1:4; Sol 4:10). The transition from "branch" (Isa 4:2) to "vineyard" here is not unnatural.

2 In that day [03117] shall the branch [06780] of the LORD [03068] be beautiful [06643] and glorious [03519], and the fruit [06529] of the earth [0776] shall be excellent [01347] and comely for [08597] them that are escaped [06413] of Israel [03478].
10 How fair [03302] is thy love [01730], my sister [0269], my spouse [03618]! how much better [02895] is thy love [01730] than wine [03196]! and the smell [07381] of thine ointments [08081] than all spices [01314]!
4 Draw [04900] me, we will run [07323] after [0310] thee: the king [04428] hath brought [0935] me into his chambers [02315]: we will be glad [01523] and rejoice [08055] in thee, we will remember [02142] thy love [01730] more than wine [03196]: the upright [04339] love [0157] thee.
10 I will greatly [07797] rejoice [07797] in the LORD [03068], my soul [05315] shall be joyful [01523] in my God [0430]; for he hath clothed [03847] me with the garments [0899] of salvation [03468], he hath covered [03271] me with the robe [04598] of righteousness [06666], as a bridegroom [02860] decketh [03547] himself with ornaments [06287], and as a bride [03618] adorneth [05710] herself with her jewels [03627].
20 Come [03212], my people [05971], enter [0935] thou into thy chambers [02315], and shut [05462] thy doors [01817] about thee: hide [02247] thyself as it were for a little [04592] moment [07281], until the indignation [02195] be overpast [05674].
11 Solomon [08010] had a vineyard [03754] at Baalhamon [01174]; he let out [05414] the vineyard [03754] unto keepers [05201]; every one [0376] for the fruit [06529] thereof was to bring [0935] a thousand [0505] pieces of silver [03701].
12 My vineyard [03754], which is mine, is before [06440] me: thou, O Solomon [08010], must have a thousand [0505], and those that keep [05201] the fruit [06529] thereof two hundred [03967].
3 I am my beloved's [01730], and my beloved [01730] is mine: he feedeth [07462] among the lilies [07799].
33 Hear [191] another [243] parable [3850]: There was [2258] a certain [444] [5100] householder [3617], which [3748] planted [5452] a vineyard [290], and [2532] hedged [5418] it [846] round about [4060], and [2532] digged [3736] a winepress [3025] in [1722] it [846], and [2532] built [3618] a tower [4444], and [2532] let [1554] it [846] out [1554] to husbandmen [1092], and [2532] went into a far country [589]:
1 For [1063] the kingdom [932] of heaven [3772] is [2076] like [3664] unto a man [444] that is an householder [3617], which [3748] went out [1831] early in the morning [260] [4404] to hire [3409] labourers [2040] into [1519] his [846] vineyard [290].
8 Thou hast brought [05265] a vine [01612] out of Egypt [04714]: thou hast cast out [01644] the heathen [01471], and planted [05193] it.
14 The LORD [03068] will enter [0935] into judgment [04941] with the ancients [02205] of his people [05971], and the princes [08269] thereof: for ye have eaten up [01197] the vineyard [03754]; the spoil [01500] of the poor [06041] is in your houses [01004].
14 And he said [0559], My presence [06440] shall go [03212] with thee, and I will give thee rest [05117].
34 Therefore now go [03212], lead [05148] the people [05971] unto the place of which I have spoken [01696] unto thee: behold, mine Angel [04397] shall go [03212] before [06440] thee: nevertheless in the day [03117] when I visit [06485] I will visit [06485] their sin [02403] upon them.
20 Behold, I send [07971] an Angel [04397] before [06440] thee, to keep [08104] thee in the way [01870], and to bring [0935] thee into the place [04725] which I have prepared [03559].
21 Beware [08104] of [06440] him, and obey [08085] his voice [06963], provoke [04843] him not; for he will not pardon [05375] your transgressions [06588]: for my name [08034] is in him [07130].
2 And he fenced [05823] it, and gathered out the stones [05619] thereof, and planted [05193] it with the choicest vine [08321], and built [01129] a tower [04026] in the midst [08432] of it, and also made [02672] a winepress [03342] therein: and he looked [06960] that it should bring forth [06213] grapes [06025], and it brought forth [06213] wild grapes [0891].
3 And now, O inhabitants [03427] of Jerusalem [03389], and men [0376] of Judah [03063], judge [08199], I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard [03754].
1 The book [976] of the generation [1078] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], the son [5207] of David [1138], the son [5207] of Abraham [11].
1 And [2532] he began [756] to speak [3004] unto them [846] by [1722] parables [3850]. A certain man [444] planted [5452] a vineyard [290], and [2532] set [4060] an hedge about [5418] it, and [2532] digged [3736] a place for the winefat [5276], and [2532] built [3618] a tower [4444], and [2532] let [1554] it [846] out [1554] to husbandmen [1092], and [2532] went into a far country [589].
33 Hear [191] another [243] parable [3850]: There was [2258] a certain [444] [5100] householder [3617], which [3748] planted [5452] a vineyard [290], and [2532] hedged [5418] it [846] round about [4060], and [2532] digged [3736] a winepress [3025] in [1722] it [846], and [2532] built [3618] a tower [4444], and [2532] let [1554] it [846] out [1554] to husbandmen [1092], and [2532] went into a far country [589]:
10 Many [07227] pastors [07462] have destroyed [07843] my vineyard [03754], they have trodden [0947] my portion [02513] under foot [0947], they have made [05414] my pleasant [02532] portion [02513] a desolate [08077] wilderness [04057].
21 Yet I had planted [05193] thee a noble vine [08321], wholly a right [0571] seed [02233]: how then art thou turned [02015] into the degenerate plant [05494] of a strange [05237] vine [01612] unto me?
16 Awake [05782], O north wind [06828]; and come [0935], thou south [08486]; blow [06315] upon my garden [01588], that the spices [01314] thereof may flow out [05140]. Let my beloved [01730] come [0935] into his garden [01588], and eat [0398] his pleasant [04022] fruits [06529].
9 My beloved [01730] is like [01819] a roe [06643] or a young [06082] hart [0354]: behold, he standeth [05975] behind [0310] our wall [03796], he looketh forth [07688] at the windows [02474], shewing [06692] himself through the lattice [02762].
8 The voice [06963] of my beloved [01730]! behold, he cometh [0935] leaping [01801] upon the mountains [02022], skipping [07092] upon the hills [01389].
3 As the apple tree [08598] among the trees [06086] of the wood [03293], so is my beloved [01730] among the sons [01121]. I sat [03427] down under his shadow [06738] with great delight [02530], and his fruit [06529] was sweet [04966] to my taste [02441].
16 Behold, thou art fair [03303], my beloved [01730], yea, pleasant [05273]: also our bed [06210] is green [07488].
13 A bundle [06872] of myrrh [04753] is my wellbeloved [01730] unto me; he shall lie [03885] all night betwixt my breasts [07699].
14 My beloved [01730] is unto me as a cluster [0811] of camphire [03724] in the vineyards [03754] of Engedi [05872].
12 And of Benjamin [01144] he said [0559], The beloved [03039] of the LORD [03068] shall dwell [07931] in safety [0983] by him; and the LORD shall cover [02653] him all the day [03117] long, and he shall dwell [07931] between his shoulders [03802].
2 It is vain [07723] for you to rise up [06965] early [07925], to sit up [03427] late [0309], to eat [0398] the bread [03899] of sorrows [06089]: for so he giveth [05414] his beloved [03039] sleep [08142].
1 Woe [01945] to the crown [05850] of pride [01348], to the drunkards [07910] of Ephraim [0669], whose glorious [06643] beauty [08597] is a fading [05034] flower [06731], which are on the head [07218] of the fat [08081] valleys [01516] of them that are overcome [01986] with wine [03196]!
2 Hear [08085], O heavens [08064], and give ear [0238], O earth [0776]: for the LORD [03068] hath spoken [01696], I have nourished [01431] and brought up [07311] children [01121], and they have rebelled [06586] against me.
1 The vision [02377] of Isaiah [03470] the son [01121] of Amoz [0531], which he saw [02372] concerning Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389] in the days [03117] of Uzziah [05818], Jotham [03147], Ahaz [0271], and Hezekiah [03169], kings [04428] of Judah [03063].
1 The vision [02377] of Isaiah [03470] the son [01121] of Amoz [0531], which he saw [02372] concerning Judah [03063] and Jerusalem [03389] in the days [03117] of Uzziah [05818], Jotham [03147], Ahaz [0271], and Hezekiah [03169], kings [04428] of Judah [03063].
1 Give ear [0238], O ye heavens [08064], and I will speak [01696]; and hear [08085], O earth [0776], the words [0561] of my mouth [06310].
19 Now therefore write [03789] ye this song [07892] for you, and teach [03925] it the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: put [07760] it in their mouths [06310], that this song [07892] may be a witness [05707] for me against the children [01121] of Israel [03478].
25 I pray thee, let me go over [05674], and see [07200] the good [02896] land [0776] that is beyond [05676] Jordan [03383], that goodly [02896] mountain [02022], and Lebanon [03844].
17 Thou shalt bring [0935] them in, and plant [05193] them in the mountain [02022] of thine inheritance [05159], in the place [04349], O LORD [03068], which thou hast made [06466] for thee to dwell in [03427], in the Sanctuary [04720], O Lord [0136], which thy hands [03027] have established [03559].
1 To the chief Musician [05329] upon Shoshannim [07799], for the sons [01121] of Korah [07141], Maschil [04905], A Song [07892] of loves [03039]. My heart [03820] is inditing [07370] a good [02896] matter [01697]: I speak [0559] of the things which I have made [04639] touching the king [04428]: my tongue [03956] is the pen [05842] of a ready [04106] writer [05608].
66 Persecute [07291] and destroy [08045] them in anger [0639] from under the heavens [08064] of the LORD [03068].
14 I was a derision [07814] to all my people [05971]; and their song [05058] all the day [03117].
16 For the statutes [02708] of Omri [06018] are kept [08104], and all the works [04639] of the house [01004] of Ahab [0256], and ye walk [03212] in their counsels [04156]; that I should make [05414] thee a desolation [08047], and the inhabitants [03427] thereof an hissing [08322]: therefore ye shall bear [05375] the reproach [02781] of my people [05971].
