Isaiah 18:5
_ _ For — rather, “But.”
_ _ perfect — perfected. When the enemy’s plans are on the verge of completion.
_ _ sour grape ... flower — rather, “when the flower shall become the ripening grape” [Maurer].
_ _ sprigs — the shoots with the grapes on them. God will not only disconcert their present plans, but prevent them forming any future ones. Horsley takes the “harvest” and vintage here as referring to purifying judgments which cause the excision of the ungodly from the earth, and the placing of the faithful in a state of peace on the earth: not the last judgment (John 15:2; Revelation 14:15-20). |
Isaiah 18:5
For — Before they receive the end of their hopes. When — When the bud or flower is turned into a grape, which gives hopes of good vintage. He — The Lord. The branches — Instead of gathering the grapes, shall cut down the tree, and throw it into the fire. |
Isaiah 17:11 In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: [ but] the harvest [ shall be] a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.
Song of Songs 2:13 The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines [ with] the tender grape give a [ good] smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
Song of Songs 2:15 Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines [ have] tender grapes.
Ezekiel 17:6- 10 And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof were under him: so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs. ... Yea, behold, [ being] planted, shall it prosper? shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind toucheth it? it shall wither in the furrows where it grew.
