イザヤ書 5:17-19 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 5:8-17

The world and the flesh are the two great enemies that we are in danger of being overpowered by; yet we are in no danger if we do not ourselves yield to them. Eagerness of the world, and indulgence of the flesh, are the two sins against which the prophet, in God's name, here denounces woes. These were sins which then abounded among the men of Judah, some of the wild grapes they brought forth (Isa. 5:4), and for which God threatens to bring ruin upon them. They are sins which we have all need... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 5:18-30

Here are, I. Sins described which will bring judgments upon a people: and this perhaps is not only a charge drawn up against the men of Judah who lived at that time, and the particular articles of that charge, though it may relate primarily to them, but is rather intended for warning to all people, in all ages, to take heed of these sins, as destructive both to particular persons and to communities, and exposing men to God's wrath and his righteous judgments. Those are here said to be in a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 5:17

Then shall the lambs feed after their manner ,.... That is, the people of God, the disciples of Christ, either apostles and ministers of the Gospel, whom he sent forth as lambs among wolves, Luke 10:3 who fed the flock of Christ after their usual manner, and as directed by him; even with knowledge and understanding, by the ministry of the word, and administration of ordinances; or the people of God fed by them, who are comparable to lambs for their harmlessness and innocence; and who feed... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 5:18

Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity ,.... The prophet returns to the wicked again, and goes on with the account of their sin and punishment; and here describes such, not that are drawn into sin unawares, through the prevalence of their own hearts' lusts and corruptions, through the temptations of Satan, the snares of the world, or the persuasions of others; but such who draw it to themselves, seek after it, and willingly commit it; who rush and force themselves into it; who... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 5:19

That say, let him make speed, and hasten his work ,.... Either the punishment of their sins, threatened by the prophets; which, because not speedily and immediately executed, therefore they did not believe it ever would; and in a daring and insolent manner call upon God to inflict it: that we may see it , or feel it; for, as for words or threatenings, they regarded them not; thus deriding God and his judgments, and disbelieving both, like the mockers in the last days, described in 2... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 5:17

The lambs "And the kids" - גרים gerim , "strangers." The Septuagint read, more agreeably to the design of the prophet, כרים carim , αρνες , "the lambs." גדים gedayim , "the kids," Dr. Durell; nearer to the present reading: and so Archbishop Secker. The meaning is, their luxurious habitations shall be so entirely destroyed as to become a pasture for flocks. After their manner "Without restraint" - כדברם kedobram , secundum duetum eorum; i.e. suo ipsorum ductu ; as... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 5:18

With a cart-rope "As a long cable" - The Septuagint, Aquila, Sym., and Theod., for בחבלי bechabley , read כחבלי kechahley , ὡς σχοινιῳ , or σχοινιοις ; and the Septuagint, instead of שוא shau , read some other word signifying long; ὡς σχοινιῳ μακρῳ ; and so likewise the Syriac, אריכא arecha . Houbigant conjectures that the word which the Septuagint had in their copies was שרוע sarua , which is used Leviticus 21:18 , Leviticus 22:23 , for something in an... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 5:8-17

The appropriateness of God's punishments. Many of the punishments of sin follow in the way of natural consequence, and these are generally acknowledged to be fitting and appropriate; e . g . — I. IDLENESS IS PUNISHED BY WANT . "If a man will not work, neither shall he eat" ( 2 Thessalonians 3:10 ). Labor naturally produces wealth, or at any rate value of some kind; and those who work the hardest naturally acquire the most. The idle cannot complain if they have few of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 5:8-24

THE SIX WOES . After the general warning conveyed to Israel by the parable of the vineyard, six sins are particularized as those which have especially provoked God to give the warning. On each of these woe is denounced. Two have special punishments assigned to them ( Isaiah 5:8-17 ); the remainder are joined in one general threat of retribution ( Isaiah 5:18-24 ). read more
