イザヤ書 5:7-9 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 5:1-7

See what variety of methods the great God takes to awaken sinners to repentance by convincing them of sin, and showing them their misery and danger by reason of it. To this purport he speaks sometimes in plain terms and sometimes in parables, sometimes in prose and sometimes in verse, as here. ?We have tried to reason with you (Isa. 1:18); now let us put your case into a poem, inscribed to the honour of my well beloved.? God the Father dictates it to the honour of Christ his well beloved Son,... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 5:8-17

The world and the flesh are the two great enemies that we are in danger of being overpowered by; yet we are in no danger if we do not ourselves yield to them. Eagerness of the world, and indulgence of the flesh, are the two sins against which the prophet, in God's name, here denounces woes. These were sins which then abounded among the men of Judah, some of the wild grapes they brought forth (Isa. 5:4), and for which God threatens to bring ruin upon them. They are sins which we have all need... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 5:7

For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel ,.... This is the explication of the parable, or the accommodation and application of it to the people of Israel, by whom are meant the ten tribes; they are signified by the vineyard, which belonged to the Lord of hosts, who had chosen them to be a peculiar people to him, and had separated them from all others: and the men of Judah his pleasant plant ; they were so when first planted by the Lord; they were plants of delight, in... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 5:8

Woe unto them that join house to house ,.... Or "O ye that join", &c.; for, as Aben Ezra observes, it signifies calling, as in Isaiah 55:1 though Jarchi takes it to be expressive of crying and groaning, on account of future punishments; and he observes, that as there are twenty two blessings pronounced in the book of Psalms, on those that keep the law, so there are twenty two woes pronounced by Isaiah upon the wicked: that lay field to field ; the sin of covetousness is exposed... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 5:9

In mine ears, said the Lord of hosts ,.... This may be understood either of the ears of the Lord of hosts, into which came the cry of the sins of covetousness and ambition before mentioned; these were taken notice of by the Lord, and he was determined to punish them; or of the ears of the prophet, in whose hearing the Lord said what follows: so the Targum, "the prophet said, with mine ears I have heard, when this was decreed from before the Lord of hosts:' of a truth many houses shall... read more

Adam Clarke

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

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 5:9

In mine ears. "To mine ear" - The sentence in the Hebrew text seems to be imperfect in this place; as likewise in Isaiah 22:14 ; (note), where the very same sense seems to be required as here. See the note there; and compare 1 Samuel 9:15 ; (note). In this place the Septuagint supply the word ηκουσθη , and the Syriac אשתמע eshtama , auditus est Jehovah in auribus meis , i.e., נגלה niglah , as in Isaiah 22:14 . Many houses - This has reference to what was said in the... 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
