Isaiah 5:7

5:7

vineyard <03754> [the vineyard.]

cultivated place ..... took delight <08191 05194> [his pleasant plant. Heb. plant of his pleasures.]

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.]
