Isaiah 5:6

And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it. The parable is partly dropped, and Yahweh, as in , is implied to be the Owner; for He alone, not an ordinary farmer (; ), could give such a "command."

No rain - antitypically, the heaven-sent teachings of the prophets (). Not accomplished in the Babylonian captivity; for Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Haggai, and Zechariah prophesied during or after it; but in Gospel times.
