Isaías 5:12

12 En sus banquetes hay lira y arpa, pandero y flauta, y vino, y no contemplan las obras del SEÑOR, ni ven la obra de sus manos.

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 Porque diez yugadas de viña producirán sólo un bato de vino, y un homer de semilla producirá sólo un efa de grano.

11 ¡Ay de los que se levantan muy de mañana para ir tras la bebida, de los que trasnochan para que el vino los encienda!

12 En sus banquetes hay lira y arpa, pandero y flauta, y vino, y no contemplan las obras del SEÑOR, ni ven la obra de sus manos.

13 Por eso va cautivo mi pueblo por falta de discernimiento; sus notables están muertos de hambre y su multitud reseca de sed.

14 Por tanto el Seol ha ensanchado su garganta y ha abierto sin medida su boca; y a él desciende el esplendor de Jerusalén, su multitud, su alboroto y el que se divertía en ella.
