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

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 5:14-15
Instead of pleasure-seekers opening their throats to drink wine, Sheol (the place of the dead) would open her throat to drink down the pleasure-seekers. This divine punishment would befall all the people because they shared the pride that marked the property-hungry and the pleasure-mad (cf. Isaiah 2:9). The offenders’ actions showed that they really did not know Yahweh in any life-changing way; the knowledge of God had had no practical effect on the way they lived."The word sheol (an infinitive... 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
