Isaías 5:12

12 Y en sus banquetes hay arpas, vihuelas, tamboriles, flautas, y vino; y no miran la obra del SEÑOR, ni consideran 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 Y diez yugadas de viña producirán un bato, y un homer de simiente dará un efa

11 ¡Ay de los que se levantan de mañana para seguir la embriaguez; que se están hasta la noche, hasta que el vino los enciende

12 Y en sus banquetes hay arpas, vihuelas, tamboriles, flautas, y vino; y no miran la obra del SEÑOR, ni consideran la obra de sus manos

13 Por tanto, mi pueblo fue llevado cautivo, porque no tuvo ciencia; y su gloria pereció de hambre, y su multitud se secó de sed

14 Por tanto el Seol ensanchó su alma, y sin medida extendió su boca; y su gloria y su multitud descendió allá; y su fausto, y el que se regocijaba en él
