Albert Barnes Commentary Jeremiah 5:10

"Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her branches; for they are not Jehovah`s." — Jeremiah 5:10 (ASV)

Her walls - It is possible that not the city walls, but those of a vineyard are meant. Judea is God’s vineyard (Isaiah 5:1–7), and God permits the enemy to enter the vineyard to destroy her.

Battlements - tendrils. The tendrils and branches of Judah’s vine are given up to ruin, but not the stock. See Isaiah 6:13 note.
