イザヤ書 5:1-8 JC

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 5:1

Now will I sing to my well-beloved a song of my beloved "Let me sing now a song," etc. - A MS., respectable for its antiquity, adds the word שיר shir , a song, after נא na ; which gives so elegant a turn to the sentence by the repetition of it in the next member, and by distinguishing the members so exactly in the style and manner in the Hebrew poetical composition, that I am much inclined to think it genuine. A song of my beloved "A song of loves" - דודי dodey , for דודים ... read more

And gathered out the stones "And he cleared it from the stones" - This was agreeable to the husbandry: " Saxa, summa parte terrae, et vites et arbores laeduct; ima parte refrigerant ;" Columell. de arb. 3: " Saxosum facile est expedire lectione lapidum ;" Id. 2:2. " Lapides, qui supersunt, [al. insuper sunt], hieme rigent, aestate fervescunt; idcirco satis, arbustis, et vitibus nocent ;" Pallad. 1:6. A piece of ground thus cleared of the stones Persius, in his hard way of metaphor,... read more

There shall come up briers and thorns "The thorn shall spring up in it" - One MS. has בשמיר beshamir . The true reading seems to be שמור בו bo shamir , which is confirmed by the Septuagint, Syriac, and Vulgate. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 5:7

And he looked for judgment - The paronomasia, or play on the words, in this place, is very remarkable; mishpat , mishpach , tsedakah , tseakah . There are many examples of it in the other prophets, but Isaiah seems peculiarly fond of it. See Isaiah 13:6 , Isaiah 24:17 , Isaiah 32:7 , Isaiah 28:1 , Isaiah 57:6 , Isaiah 61:3 , Isaiah 65:11 , Isaiah 65:12 . Rabbi David Kimchi has noticed the paronomasia here: he expected משפט mishpat , judgment, but behold משפח ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 5:1

Now will I sing to my Well-beloved. The prophet sings to Jehovah a song concerning his vineyard. The song consists of eight lines, beginning with "My Well-beloved," and ending with "wild grapes." It is in a lively, dancing measure, very unlike the general style of Isaiah's poetry. The name "Well-beloved" seems to be taken by the prophet from the Song of Songs, where it occurs above twenty times. It well expresses the feeling of a loving soul towards its Creator and Redeemer. A song of my... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 5:1-7

ISRAEL REBUKED BY THE PARABLE OF A VINEYARD . This chapter stands in a certain sense alone, neither closely connected with what precedes nor with what follows, excepting that it breathes throughout a tone of denunciation. There is also a want of connection between its parts, the allegory of the first section being succeeded by a series of rebukes for sins, expressed in the plainest language, and the rebukes being followed by a threat of punishment, also expressed with... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 5:1-7

God's care for man, and man's ingratitude. Three times has God made himself a vineyard upon earth, planted a plantation of choice vines, endued by him with the capacity of bringing forth excellent fruit, fenced his vineyard round with care, cleared its soil of stones, pruned its superfluous shoots, hoed out the weeds from between the vine-stocks, bestowed on it all possible tendance, and looked to see a suitable result; and three times has the result, for which he had every right to look, ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 5:1-7

The parable of the vineyard. I. NOTICE THE ART OF THE PARABLE . It has been remarked, "A proverb finds him who a sermon flies." Pictures from nature are acceptable to all, especially of that nature which is familiar to the imagination of the listener. Through the imagination we may glide into our listener's heart and conscience. The truth comes with much more power when it is made to glance from an object intermediate between the mind and its naked reality. A great secret of... read more
