Isaiah 27:2-3

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 27:1-13

Isaiah 27:1 . In that day the Lord shall punish leviathan. It would seem that the Assyrian and Chaldean empire are here intended. See on Job 41:1. Amos 9:13. The desolations mentioned in the tenth verse appear to indicate the same thing; for cattle should feed in their once strong but now desolate city. In the prophetic style, these are indications of utter execration. By the dragon, the Egyptian nation, it would seem, was intended; and both those kingdoms received their scourge from... read more

Isaiah 27:2-3A vineyard of red wineThe Church a vineyard of red wineThe Church of God is here compared to a vineyard.The vine is a tender plant, needing continual care; and if the vineyard is not well fenced and guarded, the enemies of the vine are sure to get in and destroy it. The Church is called “a vineyard of red wine,” because the red grape happened to be the best kind grown in Palestine; and, in like manner, God’s Church is to Him the best of the best, the excellent of the earth, in whom... read more

Isaiah 27:3I, the Lord, do keep itThe Lord the Keeper of His peopleThere is nothing to which we are naturally more prone, nothing more dangerous, nothing so difficult to eradicate as self-confidence.And yet there is nothing so delightful as to feel that we have not anything in ourselves in which we can be confident. For the moment we have arrived at that experience we are prepared to turn to Him without whom we can do nothing.” I. IN WHAT SENSE THE LORD IS THE KEEPER OF HIS PEOPLE. 1. In one... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Isaiah 27:2

Isa 27:2 In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine. Ver. 2. In that day sing ye to her. ] Or, Of her, a new song for a new deliverance. Haply this shall be done by the Christian Churches upon the conversion of the Jews, after the Turks’ downfall; like as at the building of the second temple, the people sang and shouted, "Grace, grace unto it."

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Isaiah 27:3

Isa 27:3 I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest [any] hurt it, I will keep it night and day. Ver. 3. I the Lord do keep it. ] And then it cannot but be well kept. The matter is well amended with God’s vineyard since Isa 5:5 the Lord is with you while ye are with him. 2Ch 16:7 "The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him." Ezr 8:12 Do good, O Lord, unto those that be good, &c. As for such as... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 27:2-5

2-5. God’s work of overthrow and vindication being accomplished, what more appropriate than the ode which follows? In that day The day or period in which leviathan is destroyed. Vineyard of red wine Lowth turns the sense into lovely, pleasant, wine; to the ancients, meaning joy. Jehovah is the keeper of the vineyard, or the Church on Mount Zion, which assures its complete preservation. It is watered and guarded night and day.
