Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 24:5

_ _ earth — rather, “the land.”

_ _ defiled under ... inhabitants — namely, with innocent blood (Genesis 4:11; Numbers 35:33; Psalms 106:38).

_ _ laws ... ordinance ... everlasting covenant — The moral laws, positive statutes, and national covenant designed to be for ever between God and them.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 24:1-12.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 24:5

Defiled — By the wickedness of its people. The laws — The laws of God. Ordinance — God's ordinances concerning his worship and service; the singular being put for the plural. Covenant — The covenant made between God and Abraham, and all his posterity, which was everlasting, both on God's part, who, upon the conditions therein expressed, engaged himself to be a God to them and to their seed forever; and on Israel's part, who were obliged thereby to constant and perpetual obedience thro' all generations.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 24:5

The earth (c) also is defiled under its inhabitants; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.

(c) That is, does not give her fruit for the sin of the people, whom the earth deceived of their nourishment because they deceived God of his honour.
