Isaiah 5:5
ESV And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will remove its hedge, and it shall be devoured; I will break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down.
NIV Now I will tell you what I am going to do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it will be destroyed; I will break down its wall, and it will be trampled.
NASB So now let Me tell you what I am going to do to My vineyard: I will remove its hedge and it will be consumed; I will break down its wall and it will become trampled ground.
CSB Now I will tell you what I am about to do to my vineyard: I will remove its hedge, and it will be consumed; I will tear down its wall, and it will be trampled.
NLT Now let me tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will tear down its hedges and let it be destroyed. I will break down its walls and let the animals trample it.
KJV And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:

What does Isaiah 5:5 mean?

Isaiah's song takes an unexpected turn for those who have not yet realized what the song is about. He has described the worthless grapes yielded by his beloved's vineyard (Isaiah 5:2). He has gone as far as to ask those listening if there was anything more he could have done (Isaiah 5:4). Now the farmer will declare his intentions: to leave the vineyard to be utterly destroyed.

The farmer declares that he will remove the protective hedge which keeps animals out. Since there is already a wall, this hedge may refer to thorns that have grown up and on top of the wall. Once the hedge is gone, the farmer will also tear down the wall, leaving the vineyard exposed. Large and small animals will then come and eat and trample the vines. They will destroy the vineyard and its ability to continue making useless grapes.
