Isaías 5:8 NVI

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 5:8-10

Isaiah 5:8-10. Wo unto them, &c. The unfolding of the parable, after the general key in the preceding verse, comprehends two things, according to the argument of the parable; the crimes of this ungrateful people, and the punishment decreed to their crimes. That join house to house That add new purchases of houses and lands to their former possessions. Not that this was in itself absolutely unlawful, but because they did it from an inordinate desire of riches, and with the injury of... read more

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

WOE TO THE GREEDY AND THE SELFISH"Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field till there be no room, and ye be made to dwell alone in the midst of the land! In mine ears saith Jehovah of hosts, of a truth many houses shall be left desolate, even great and fair without inhabitant. For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and a homer of seed shall yield but an ephah."The insatiable desire of men to own more and more is the direct and certain result of a gross... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 5:8

Isaiah 5:8. Woe unto them that join house to house— The unfolding of the parable, after the general key in the preceding verse, comprehends two things, according to the argument of the parable: the crimes of these ungrateful people, and the punishment decreed to their crimes. The first crime condemned is avarice and rapacity; which is strongly described in this verse, and which prevailed remarkably among the Jews. Its punishment,—even the desolation of those houses which they coveted, and the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 5:8-10

The first quality that spoiled Israel’s fruit was greed, an example of which Isaiah detailed (cf. Micah 2:1). The Israelites were buying out their neighbors, as they had opportunity or made the opportunity, to increase their land holdings. The wealthier or smarter members of the community took advantage of their less fortunate brethren and so deprived them of their opportunity to live on land that God had given them (cf. Leviticus 25:23). The carpetbaggers who descended on the South following... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 5:8-25

2. The wildness of the grapes 5:8-25Yahweh’s crop was worthless because it produced wild grapes that manifested six blights. The word "woe" (Heb. hoy), a term of lament and threat, introduces each one (cf. Amos 5:18; Amos 6:1; Revelation 8:13; Revelation 9:12)."The word ’woe’ itself, appearing six times in the passage, does not just denounce our sins, it laments our sins. The same word is translated ’Ah!’ in Isaiah 1:4 and ’Alas!’ in 1 Kings 13:30. Remember that ’woe’ is the opposite of the... read more
