Isaiah 5:1-7

5:1

sing <07891> [Now.]

love ........... love <03039> [well-beloved.]

vineyard ...... vineyard <03754> [touching.]

fertile hill <07161 01121> [a very fruitful hill. Heb. the horn of the son of oil.]

5:2

built a hedge ...... stones <05823 05619> [fenced it. or, made a wall about it.]

planted <05193> [planted.]

vine <08321> [the choicest vine.]

{Sorek,} in Arabic, {sharik,} certainly denotes an excellent vine; but some with Bp. Lowth, retain it as a proper name. Sorek was a valley lying between Askelon and Gaza, so called from the excellence of its vines.

built <01129> [and built.]

constructed <02672> [made. Heb. hewed. a winepress.]

waited for <06960> [he looked.]

sour ones <0891> [wild grapes.]

5:3

decide <08199> [judge.]

5:4

5:5

inform <03045> [go to.]

remove <05493> [I will take.]

graze <04823> [trodden down. Heb. for a treading.]

5:6

make <07896> [I will lay.]

prune <02168> [it shall.]

order <06680> [also.]

5:7

vineyard <03754> [the vineyard.]

waited <06960> [he looked.]

disobedience .......... got cries <04939 06818> [but.]

The paronomasia, or play of words, is very remarkable here: he looked for {mishpat,} "judgment," but behold {mispach,} "oppression;" for {tzedakah,} "justice," but behold {tz‰dkah,} "a cry."

disobedience <04939> [oppression. Heb. a scab.]

got cries <06818> [a cry.]
