The Return to Christ's Love (Good Friday) Isaiah 5:3-4 Consider the return made to that love of our Redeemer; the return made by the multitudes the return made by His enemies the return made by His special and familiar friends, and, lastly, the return made by the world which He has redeemed.

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 5:1-30

GENERAL DISCOURSES The first five chapters of Isaiah form a natural division, to which, for want of a better title, we give that of General Discourses, or messages. The first is limited to chapter 1, the second covers chapters 2-4, and the third chapter 5. But first notice the introduction, Isaiah 1:1 . By what word is the whole book described? What genealogy of the prophet is given? To which kingdom was he commissioned, Israel or Judah? In whose reigns did he prophesy? Examine 2 Kings,... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 5:8-22

Sin and Judgment Isa 5:8-22 We find similar maledictions pronounced by Jesus Christ in the sixth chapter of Luke. In the earlier prophecies there is no precedent or parallel to these pronouncements of woe. Where heaven is so angry there must be some reason for the anger; it is our business to endeavour to discover that reason, and inquire into our own relation towards it. "Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 5:11-15

How striking are these expressions! wine and dancing, revelling and music, rioting and sensuality, bring on their own punishments. Hell and the grave yawn to receive those who kill themselves by intemperance. Both poor and rich, in their different means of gratification, fall under the same sins, and are alike cut off in their transgression. Here is an awful picture of a fallen state. Alas! every age produceth but the same. See a similar representation, Amos 6:1-7 . read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 5:8-23

8-23 Here is a woe to those who set their hearts on the wealth of the world. Not that it is sinful for those who have a house and a field to purchase another; but the fault is, that they never know when they have enough. Covetousness is idolatry; and while many envy the prosperous, wretched man, the Lord denounces awful woes upon him. How applicable to many among us! God has many ways to empty the most populous cities. Those who set their hearts upon the world, will justly be disappointed. Here... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 5:8-30

A Sixfold Woe upon the Jewish Transgressors v. 8. Woe unto them that join house to house, in a greed for wealth which is never satisfied, that lay field to field, their covetousness causing them to add one piece of property to another, till there be no place, no room for any one else, that they, literally, "ye," for the prophet here turns directly to the Jews, may be placed alone in the midst of the earth, thus violating the statutes both concerning the inheritance of real estate and the... read more
