Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 5:6

_ _ I will ... command — The parable is partly dropped and Jehovah, as in Isaiah 5:7, is implied to be the Owner: for He alone, not an ordinary husbandman (Matthew 21:43; Luke 17:22), could give such a “command.”

_ _ no rain — antitypically, the heaven-sent teachings of the prophets (Amos 8:11). Not accomplished in the Babylonish captivity; for Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Haggai, and Zechariah prophesied during or after it. But in gospel times.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 5:1-7.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 5:6

Nor digged — Vine — dressers use to dig up and open the earth about the roots of the vines. The meaning is, I will remove my ministers, who used great care and diligence to make you fruitful. Thorns — I will give you up to your own lusts. No rain — I will deprive you of all my blessings.
