イザヤ書 5:1-8:22 JC

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 5:1-30

God’s love and Judah’s response (5:1-30)Judah and Israel together are likened to God’s vineyard. God did everything possible to make it healthy, beautiful and fruitful, and he expected a good harvest of grapes, but the people brought God none of the fruit he expected (5:1-4). He therefore will cease to care for them, so that they might be left to suffer whatever ruin their sin brings upon them. Israel has already been destroyed and Judah will now follow (5-7).Examples of the sins that brought... read more

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Isaiah 5:1

a song. Eight sentences describe the vineyard, of which seven give the characteristics, and one (Isaiah 5:7 ) the result. This "song" sets forth the doom of the Vineyard: the Parable (Luke 20:9-16 ), the doom of the husbandmen. hath = had. a very fruitful = oil's son. Can it refer to David and his anointing? Compare 1 Samuel 2:10 ; 1 Samuel 16:13 ; Psalms 132:7 . Compare Isaiah 5:7 -, below. hill = horn. Hebrew. keren, always "horn" (seventy-five times). Only "hill" here. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 5:1

Much in the same way that Nathan induced David to pronounce sentence upon himself, Isaiah here gave a little song about one who planted a vineyard, etc.; and, when it produced poisonous berries instead of grapes and after it had become obvious that there was no possible excuse for such a thing, he revealed the true meaning of this little song about the vineyard. Only when we come to Isaiah 5:7 does it become clear that God is the one who planted the vineyard and that Israel and Judah... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 5:1

Isaiah 5:1. Now will I sing to my well-beloved a song— The third prophetic discourse is contained in this chapter; which, being partly parabolical, and partly proper, naturally divides itself into two principal parts. The first contains the parable, Isa 5:1-6 the other the explanation of the parable, Isaiah 5:7-30. In the former part we have, first, the exordium, placed as a kind of title before the song, in part of the first verse; then the parable itself, Isa 5:1-6 in which the chosen nation,... read more

Isaiah gives a hint of the distinction and yet unity of the Divine Persons (compare He with I, Isaiah 5:2; Isaiah 5:3). of my beloved—inspired by Him; or else, a tender song [CASTALIO]. By a slight change of reading "a song of His love" [HOUBIGANT]. "The Beloved" is Jehovah, the Second Person, the "Angel" of God the Father, not in His character as incarnate Messiah, but as God of the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 5:1-2

Isaiah offered to sing a song for his good friend about his friend’s "vineyard," a figure for one’s bride (cf. Song of Solomon 1:6; Song of Solomon 8:12). Actually, this song contains a harsh message about another person and His "vineyard," namely: Yahweh and Israel. Isaiah painted a picture of a man cultivating his relationship with his wife, only to have her turn out to be disappointing. But, as would shortly become clear, he was really describing God’s careful preparation of Israel to bring... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 5:1-7

1. The song of the vineyard 5:1-7Isaiah, like a folk singer, sang a parable about a vineyard that compared Israel to a vineyard that Yahweh had planted and from which He legitimately expected to receive fruit. One cannot help but wonder if this passage lay behind Jesus’ teaching on the vine and the branches in John 15:1-6. The prophet’s original audience did not realize what this song was about at first. It started out sounding like a happy wedding song, but it turned out to be a funeral dirge... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 5:1

V.(1) Now will I sing to my wellbeloved.—Literally, Now let me sing. The chapter bears every mark of being a distinct composition, perhaps the most elaborately finished in the whole of Isaiah. The parable with which it opens has for us the interest of having obviously supplied a starting-point for a later prophet (Jeremiah 2:21), and for our Lord’s teaching in the like parable of Matthew 21:33-41. Here, however, there is the distinctive touch of the irony of the opening verse. The prophet... read more
