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

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 5:26-30

Methinks I would read these verses with a twofold aspect. God had said by the prophet, in a preceding chapter; Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him; while to the wicked, it shall be ill with him, Isaiah 3:10-11 . And may we not make application of what is here said, in both senses? The Lord will lift up an ensign for his people, in the same moment that he will lift up an ensign for destruction to his enemies. And when Jesus, the glorious ensign of his people's redemption... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 5:24-30

24-30 Let not any expect to live easily who live wickedly. Sin weakens the strength, the root of a people; it defaces the beauty, the blossoms of a people. When God's word is despised, and his law cast away, what can men expect but that God should utterly abandon them? When God comes forth in wrath, the hills tremble, fear seizes even great men. When God designs the ruin of a provoking people, he can find instruments to be employed in it, as he sent for the Chaldeans, and afterwards the Romans,... 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

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Isaiah 5:8-30

Isaiah A PROPHET’S WOES Isa_5:8 - Isa_5:30 . Drunkenness is, in this text, one of a ring of plague-spots on the body politic of Judah. The prophet six times proclaims ‘woe’ as the inevitable end of these; such ‘sickness’ is ‘unto death’ unless repentance and another course of conduct bring healing. But drunkenness appears twice in this grim catalogue, and the longest paragraph of denunciation Isa_5:11 - Isa_5:17 is devoted to it. Its connection with the other vices attacked is loose, but it... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 5:18-30

Warning against Pride, Intemperance, and Corruption Isaiah 5:18-30 The wild grapes of Judah are here continued: blind atheism, Isaiah 5:18-20 ; proud self-conceit, Isaiah 5:21 ; drunkenness, Isaiah 5:22 ; injustice in the courts, Isaiah 5:23-24 . What a terrible description is that given in Isaiah 5:18 of the inevitable progress of sin! The bacchanalian procession which is seen, in Isaiah 5:14 , descending with music and flowers into the open gates of Hades is described in Isaiah 5:18 as... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 5:1-30

With the thought of judgment, and the necessity for it still in mind, the prophet utters his great denunciation. This falls into three parts. The first is a song of accusation. By the simple and familiar illustration of the rights of the proprietor in his vineyard, the prophet appeals to the listening people. The nature of the parable is such as to compel their assent to the rightness of the judgment indicated. The prophet immediately makes a blunt application of his song as he declares that... read more
