以賽亞書 5:6 CUNPTS

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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 5:6

And I will lay it waste ,.... Or "desolate", as it was by the Romans: the whole land of Judea, as well as the city and temple Matthew 23:38 , it shall not be pruned nor digged ; as vineyards are, to make them more fruitful; but no care shall be taken of it, no means made use of to cultivate it, all being ineffectual: but there shall come up briers and thorns ; sons of Belial, wicked and ungodly men; immoralities, errors, heresies, contentions, quarrels, &c.; which abounded... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 5:6

There shall come up briers and thorns "The thorn shall spring up in it" - One MS. has בשמיר beshamir . The true reading seems to be שמור בו bo shamir , which is confirmed by the Septuagint, Syriac, and Vulgate. 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

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 5:1-7

The parable of the vineyard. I. NOTICE THE ART OF THE PARABLE . It has been remarked, "A proverb finds him who a sermon flies." Pictures from nature are acceptable to all, especially of that nature which is familiar to the imagination of the listener. Through the imagination we may glide into our listener's heart and conscience. The truth comes with much more power when it is made to glance from an object intermediate between the mind and its naked reality. A great secret of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 5:1-7

Privilege and penalty. We have a striking picture of— I. THE FULNESS OF THE DIVINE PROVISION . ( Isaiah 5:1 4.) The second verse describes in detail the processes by which the vineyard is prepared for fruitfulness, and in the fourth verse the question is asked, "What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it?" The idea is that of the fullness of the Divine provision for the Jewish nation . God had provided: 1. Illustrious men—Moses, Aaron,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 5:5-6

Divine judgments on ingratitude. The picture presented is one of complete desolation. A miserable sight is the untended vineyard. No desolation is so complete as that which comes to lands which man has once tilled and then left neglected. Hugh Macmillan remarks that this judgment has even been literally fulfilled. "No country in the world has such variety and abundance of thorny plants as Palestine in its present desolation; there are giant thistles, growing to the height of a man on... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 5:6

I will lay it waste ; literally, I will make it a desolation (comp. Isaiah 7:19 , where a cognate term occurs). Active ravage is not so much pointed at, as the desolation which comes from neglect. There shall come up briers and thorns. The natural produce of neglected ground in Palestine (see Proverbs 24:31 ). The "thorns and briers" symbolize vices of various kinds, the natural produce of the human soul, if God leaves it to itself. The words are scarcely to be taken literally,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 5:6

I will lay it waste ... - The description here is continued from Isaiah 5:5. The image is carried out, and means that the Jews should be left utterly without protection.I will also command the clouds ... - It is evident here, that the parable or figure is partially dropped. A farmer could not command the clouds. It is God alone who could do that; and the figure of the vineyard is dropped, and God is introduced speaking as a sovereign. The meaning is, that he would withhold his divine... read more
