Isaías 5:12

12 Proveen vino y música hermosa para sus grandes fiestas
—lira y arpa, pandereta y flauta—
pero nunca piensan en el Señor
ni se dan cuenta de lo que él hace.

Isaías 5:12 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 5:12

And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe
Instruments of music; some struck with a bow or quill, or touched with the fingers; and others blown with the mouth: and wine are in their feasts;
so that they lived jovially and merrily, like sons of Bacchus, more than like the people of God: but they regard not the work of the Lord, neither consider the
operation of his hands;
meaning not the law, as the Targum and Kimchi, which was the work of the Lord, and the writing of his hands; rather, as Aben Ezra, the punishment inflicted on the ten tribes being carried into captivity; or else the works of creation and providence, and the daily mercies of life; or, best of all, the great work of redemption by Christ, and the conversion of sinners, both among Jews and Gentiles, by the preaching of his Gospel; for this refers to the Jews in the times of Christ and his apostles, which immediately preceded their utter destruction; and those sins here mentioned were the cause of it. See ( Psalms 28:5 ) .

Isaías 5:12 In-Context

10 Cuatro hectáreas
de viñedo no producirán ni veintiún litros
de vino
y diez canastas de semilla solo darán una canasta
de grano».

11 Qué aflicción para los que se levantan temprano por la mañana
en busca de un trago de alcohol,
y pasan largas noches bebiendo vino
hasta tener una fuerte borrachera.

12 Proveen vino y música hermosa para sus grandes fiestas
—lira y arpa, pandereta y flauta—
pero nunca piensan en el Señor
ni se dan cuenta de lo que él hace.

13 Por lo tanto, mi pueblo irá al destierro muy lejos
porque no me conoce.
La gente importante y los que reciben honra se morirán de hambre,
y la gente común morirá de sed.

14 La tumba
se relame de expectativa
y abre bien grande la boca.
Los importantes y los humildes,
y la turba de borrachos, todos serán devorados.
