The Pulpit Commentary on Isaiah 5:3

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

The prophet's "song" here ends, and Jehovah himself takes the word. As if the story told in the parable had been a fact, he calls on the men of Judah and Jerusalem to "judge between him and his vineyard."

Compare Nathan's appeal to David by the parable of the ewe lamb (2 Samuel 12:1-4).
