Psalms 51:17

Context

51:17 The sacrifices God desires are a humble spirit 1 

O God, a humble and repentant heart 2  you will not reject. 3 

Isaiah 5:4-5

Context

5:4 What more can I do for my vineyard

beyond what I have already done?

When I waited for it to produce edible grapes,

why did it produce sour ones instead?

5:5 Now I will inform you

what I am about to do to my vineyard:

I will remove its hedge and turn it into pasture, 4 

I will break its wall and allow animals to graze there. 5 

Isaiah 5:10

Context

5:10 Indeed, a large vineyard 6  will produce just a few gallons, 7 

and enough seed to yield several bushels 8  will produce less than a bushel.” 9

[51:17]  1 tn Heb “a broken spirit.”

[51:17]  2 tn Heb “a broken and crushed heart.”

[51:17]  3 tn Or “despise.”

[5:5]  4 tn Heb “and it will become [a place for] grazing.” בָּעַר (baar, “grazing”) is a homonym of the more often used verb “to burn.”

[5:5]  5 tn Heb “and it will become a trampled place” (NASB “trampled ground”).

[5:10]  6 tn Heb “a ten-yoke vineyard.” The Hebrew term צֶמֶד (tsemed, “yoke”) is here a unit of square measure. Apparently a ten-yoke vineyard covered the same amount of land it would take ten teams of oxen to plow in a certain period of time. The exact size is unknown.

[5:10]  7 tn Heb “one bath.” A bath was a liquid measure. Estimates of its modern equivalent range from approximately six to twelve gallons.

[5:10]  8 tn Heb “a homer.” A homer was a dry measure, the exact size of which is debated. Cf. NCV “ten bushels”; CEV “five bushels.”

[5:10]  9 tn Heb “an ephah.” An ephah was a dry measure; there were ten ephahs in a homer. So this verse envisions major crop failure, where only one-tenth of the anticipated harvest is realized.
