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

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 5:8-25

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 5:16-17

In contrast to the humiliation of the Israelite proud, Yahweh of armies would enjoy exaltation because what characterizes Him is the opposite of what marked His people, namely: justice and righteousness."Righteousness is holiness expressed in moral principles; justice is the application of the principles of righteousness (cf. Isaiah 1:21)." [Note: Motyer, p. 72.] This difference between God and His people is an aspect of His holiness (i.e., His moral purity; cf. Isaiah 6:3). When God’s people... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 5:16

(16) Shall be sanctified.—Men had not recognised the holiness of Jehovah, and therefore He must manifest that holiness (in that sense “be sanctified”) in acts of righteous severity. The “Holy One of Israel” was, we must remember, the name, of all Divine names, in which Israel most delighted, the ever-recurring burden of all the prophet’s utterances. read more
