John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 5:23

Which justify the wicked for reward ,.... This is either spoken of judges, and civil magistrates, who gave the cause in favour of the wicked, that bribed them, contrary to law, Deuteronomy 16:19 or rather of the Scribes and Pharisees, who pronounced the wicked righteous men, provided they kept the traditions of the elders, and paid tithes of all they possessed, and gave them money for their long prayers, Matthew 23:14 , and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him ; by... 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 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 ).

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

Mirth and mourning. I. THOUGHTLESS PLEASURE - SEEKING . A scene of habitual dissipation is depicted by the prophet. 1. Wine and music are used, not legitimately, to relax the tension of the overwrought mind, but to dispel thought altogether. Sensuous pleasure is made an end and object, though it can never be healthy except in succession to work. "They rise early in the morning to follow the wassail; late into the night are heated by wine." "Guitar, and harp, and tambourine, and... read more

The evil and the end of intemperance. When other evils have entered and other calamities have overtaken a state, intemperance is sure to make its black and hateful mark. These verses suggest— I. ITS TYRANNY . Such is its strength that it makes its devotees, t rise up early in the morning" ( Isaiah 5:11 ) in order to worship at its shrine. It is an unnatural and detestable action; the earliness of the hour of the day might well be pleaded as a proof of innocency ( Acts 2:15 ). But... read more
