The parallelism is tighter if the second line refers to animals grazing. The translation, “amid the ruins the fatlings and young sheep graze,” assumes an emendation of “resident aliens” ( גָּרִים , garim ) to “young goats/sheep” ( גְּדַיִם , gÿdayim ) – confusion of dalet and resh is quite common – and understands “fatlings” and “young sheep” taken as a compound subject or as in apposition as the subject of the verb. However, no emendations are necessary if the above translation is correct. The meaning of מֵחִים ( mekhim ) has a significant impact on one’s textual decision and translation. The noun can refer to a sacrificial (“fat”) animal as it does in its only other occurrence ( Ps 66:15 ). However, it could signify the rich of the earth (“the fat ones of the earth”; Ps 22:29 []) using a different word for “fatness” ( דָּשֶׁן , dashen ). If so, it serves a figurative reference to the rich. Consequently, the above translation coheres with the first half of the verse. Just as the sheep are out of place grazing in these places (“as in their pasture”), the sojourners would not have expected to have the chance to eat in these locations. Both animals and itinerant foreigners would eat in places not normal for them. sn The image completes the picture begun in v. 14 and adds to the irony. When judgment comes, Sheol will eat up the sinners who frequent the feasts; then the banqueting halls will lie in ruins and only sheep will eat there.","source_note_position":2,"source_url":"https://netbible.org/resource/netNote/Isaiah%205%3A17/2"}

The sinners are so attached to their sinful ways (compared here to a heavy load) that they strain to drag them along behind them. If שָׁוְא ( shavÿ ’, “emptiness”) is retained, it makes a further comment on their lifestyle, denouncing it as one that is devoid of what is right and destined to lead to nothing but destruction. Because “emptiness” does not form a very tight parallel with “cart” in the next line, some emend שָׁוְא to שֶׂה ( she , “sheep”) and עֲגָלָה (’ agalah , “cart”) to עֵגֶל (’ egel , “calf”): “Those who pull evil along with a sheep halter are as good as dead who pull sin with a calf rope ” (following the lead of the LXX and improving the internal parallelism of the verse). In this case, the verse pictures the sinners pulling sin along behind them as one pulls an animal with a halter. For a discussion of this view, see J. N. Oswalt, Isaiah (NICOT), 1:163, n. 1. Nevertheless, this emendation is unnecessary.

The reference to his “work” alludes back to v. 12 , which refers to his ‘work” of judgment. With these words the people challenged the prophet’s warning of approaching judgment. They were in essence saying that they saw no evidence that God was about to work in such a way.","source_note_position":1,"source_url":"https://netbible.org/resource/netNote/Isaiah%205%3A19/1"}

While this lack of symmetry is odd, it has a clear rhetorical purpose. Having established a pattern in vv. 8-17 , the prophet deviates from it in vv. 18-21 to grab his audience’s attention. By placing the “woes” in rapid succession and heaping up the accusatory elements, he highlights the people’s guilt and introduces an element of tension and anticipation. One is reasonably certain that judgment will come, and when it does, it will be devastating. This anticipated devastation is described in frightening detail after the sixth and final woe (see vv. 22-30 ).","source_note_position":2,"source_url":"https://netbible.org/resource/netNote/Isaiah%205%3A21/2"}
