The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 24:7

The new wine mourneth . Even when the joyous time of the vintage comes round, the earth is still sad, cannot shake off its depression or wake up to merriment. Even those most disposed to be "merry. hearted," under the dismal circumstances of the time can do nothing but "sigh." read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 24:6

Therefore hath the curse devoured - Eaten it up; a figurative expression that is common in the Scriptures, denoting that the desolation is widespread and ruinous.Are burned - (חרוּ chârû). Instead of this reading, Lowth proposes to read: חרבוּ chârebû ‘Are destroyed.’ The Septuagint reads it, ‘Therefore the inhabitants of the land shall be poor.’ The Syriac, ‘The inhabitants of the land shall be slain.’ But there is no authority from the manuscripts to change the text as proposed by Lowth,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 24:7

The new wine languisheth - The new wine (תירושׁ tı̂yrôsh), denotes properly must, or wine that was newly expressed from the grape, and that was not fermented, usually translated ‘new wine,’ or ‘sweet wine.’ The expression here is poetic. The wine languishes or mourns because there are none to drink it; it is represented as grieved because it does not perform its usual office of exhilarating the heart, and the figure is thus an image of the desolation of the land.The vine languisheth - It is... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 24:5-6

Isaiah 24:5-6. The earth also Rather, And the land is defiled under the inhabitants thereof By the wickedness of its people. Here we have the causes of the divine judgment upon the land: because they have transgressed the laws The laws of God revealed to them, and pressed upon them in a singular manner; changed the ordinance God’s ordinances concerning his worship and service; broken the everlasting covenant The covenant made between God and Abraham, and all his posterity, which... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 24:7-9

Isaiah 24:7-9. The new wine mourneth, &c. In these verses we have a description, in metaphorical language, of the ruin and desolation brought on a once flourishing land by a destructive enemy. The wine, figuratively speaking, mourns, because there are none, or none but enemies to God and Israel, to drink it. The vine languisheth Because there are no people left to dress it, or gather its grapes; or because it is broken down and spoiled by the enemy. In other words, the vineyards are... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 24:1-23

24:1-27:13 FINAL JUDGMENT AND SALVATIONThe judgment of various contemporary nations leads the prophet to consider God’s final great judgment on the world. Naturally, his illustrations are taken from the world that he knew, and the nations he mentions are those of his time, but the principles of judgment and salvation that he presents are those of the unchangeable God. They will find their fullest expression in God’s mighty triumph at the end of the world’s history.Some will mourn, others... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 24:7

"The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merry-hearted do sigh. The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth. They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it. The waste city is broken down; every house is shut up, that no man may come in. There is a crying in the streets because of the wine; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone. In the city is left desolation, and the gate is... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 24:6

Isaiah 24:6. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth— This verse contains the fourth gradation, and is well illustrated by Zechariah 5:1; Zechariah 5:11. The phrase are burned, refers to the internal consumption and decay. See Job 30:30. Psalms 69:3. The meaning of the prophet is, that the principal inhabitants of the land should waste away, be gradually consumed, and perish; whether dispersed by the public calamities, or reduced to poverty by the spoiling of their goods; so that few of... read more
