Isaia 5:12

Listen to Isaia 5:12
12 La cetra, il saltèro, il tamburello, il flauto ed il vino, ecco i loro conviti! ma non pongon mente a quel che fa l’Eterno, e non considerano l’opera delle sue mani.

Isaia 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 ) .

Isaia 5:12 In-Context

10 dieci iugeri di vigna non daranno che un bato, e un omer di seme non darà che un efa.
11 Guai a quelli che la mattina s’alzano di buon’ora per correr dietro alle bevande alcooliche, e fan tardi la sera, finché il vino l’infiammi!
12 La cetra, il saltèro, il tamburello, il flauto ed il vino, ecco i loro conviti! ma non pongon mente a quel che fa l’Eterno, e non considerano l’opera delle sue mani.
13 Perciò il mio popolo sen va in cattività per mancanza di conoscimento, la sua nobiltà muore di fame, e le sue folle sono inaridite dalla sete.
14 Perciò il soggiorno de’ morti s’è aperto bramoso, ed ha spalancata fuor di modo la gola; e laggiù scende lo splendore di Sion, la sua folla, il suo chiasso, e colui che in mezzo ad essa festeggia.
