What does Isaiah 27:5 mean?

In His song of the vineyard (Isaiah 27:2–4), the Lord anticipates demonstrating His commitment to protect His people Israel from harm. In the depicted future, no enemy nations will remain to harm them. Where Israel has been disciplined, enemy nations have been erased (Isaiah 27:7). It will be an era of peace and victory for Israel. This section speaks of those who arise within the "vineyard" to rebel and oppose God (Matthew 13:40).

Those thorn bushes among grapevines are destined for fiery destruction (Revelation 20:7–10). Yet the Lord would rather they repent and join those who are redeemed (Ezekiel 18:23). They could choose to make peace with the Lord God of Israel, forsaking all other gods, humbling themselves before Him, and treating His people well. Those who refuse will face both earthly and eternal consequences (John 15:6).
