Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 5:18-30

Here are, I. Sins described which will bring judgments upon a people: and this perhaps is not only a charge drawn up against the men of Judah who lived at that time, and the particular articles of that charge, though it may relate primarily to them, but is rather intended for warning to all people, in all ages, to take heed of these sins, as destructive both to particular persons and to communities, and exposing men to God's wrath and his righteous judgments. Those are here said to be in a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 5:19

That say, let him make speed, and hasten his work ,.... Either the punishment of their sins, threatened by the prophets; which, because not speedily and immediately executed, therefore they did not believe it ever would; and in a daring and insolent manner call upon God to inflict it: that we may see it , or feel it; for, as for words or threatenings, they regarded them not; thus deriding God and his judgments, and disbelieving both, like the mockers in the last days, described in 2... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 5:8-24

THE SIX WOES . After the general warning conveyed to Israel by the parable of the vineyard, six sins are particularized as those which have especially provoked God to give the warning. On each of these woe is denounced. Two have special punishments assigned to them ( Isaiah 5:8-17 ); the remainder are joined in one general threat of retribution ( Isaiah 5:18-24 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 5:11-22

The evil and the end of intemperance. When other evils have entered and other calamities have overtaken a state, intemperance is sure to make its black and hateful mark. These verses suggest— I. ITS TYRANNY . Such is its strength that it makes its devotees, t rise up early in the morning" ( Isaiah 5:11 ) in order to worship at its shrine. It is an unnatural and detestable action; the earliness of the hour of the day might well be pleaded as a proof of innocency ( Acts 2:15 ). But... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 5:18-19

Sin in its strength. We have here some thoughts about sin. I. ITS EVIL GROWTH . Whatever the precise thought of the prophet, his words ( Isaiah 5:18 ) are strongly suggestive of the fact that sin gradually attains a terrible power. Its "pull" may at first be that of a silken thread; presently it becomes that of a strong string; then it is found to be that of a hard wire; finally it reaches that of a "cart - rope." And this, whether we regard the sinner as In the one case he... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 5:18-23

Four grievous sins. The ungodly spirit finds very various modes of expression in willful and self-pleasing actions. Men's sins are repeated over and over again in every age, sometimes taking more open and defiant forms, and sometimes hiding behind a pleasant outward show of delicacy and refinement, but always the "abominable things which God hates." The coarse sins of Eastern peoples seem offensive to our sensitive Western nations; but the sins are here amongst us, only in a disguise which... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 5:18-24

Analysis of sin. I. THE VAIN AND WANTON MIND . A singular image is used. Men are described as drawing down upon themselves, as with stout and strong ropes, the burden of sin and guilt. Such is the effect of their mocking jests and speeches. Dramatically, the hearers of the prophet are represented as exclaiming defiantly, "Let his wrath hasten, let it speed, let us see it; let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, that we may know it I" Amos alludes to the same... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 5:19

That say, Let him make speed , etc. Instead of trembling at the coming judgment of God, which Isaiah has announced, they pretend to desire its immediate arrival; they want to "see it." They walk, not by faith, but by sight. At the bottom of this pretended desire there lies a complete incredulity. The counsel ; or, purpose, as in Isaiah 14:26 . Of the Holy One of Israel. They use one of Isaiah's favorite titles of God (see note on Isaiah 1:4 ), not from any belief in him, but rather... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 5:19

That say ... - They add one sin to another for “the purpose of defying” God, and provoking him to anger. They pretend that he will not punish sin; and hence, they plunge deeply into it, and defy him to punish them.Let him make speed - Let him come quick to punish.And hasten his work - His punishment.That we may see it - An expression of defiance. We would like to see him undertake it.The counsel of the Holy One ... - His threatened purpose to punish. This is the language of all sinners. They... read more
