Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 5:14

_ _ hell — the grave; Hebrew, sheol; Greek, hades; “the unseen world of spirits.” Not here, “the place of torment.” Poetically, it is represented as enlarging itself immensely, in order to receive the countless hosts of Jews, which should perish (Numbers 16:30).

_ _ their — that is, of the Jewish people.

_ _ he that rejoiceth — the drunken reveler in Jerusalem.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 5:8-17.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 5:14

And he — That spends all his days in mirth and jollity.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 5:14

Therefore (u) hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.

(u) Meaning, the grave will swallow up them who will die for hunger and thirst, and yet for all this great destruction it will never be satisfied.
