Isaiah 5:17
_ _ after their manner — literally, “according to their own word,” that is, at will. Otherwise, as in their own pasture [Gesenius]: so the Hebrew in Micah 2:12. The lands of the Scenite tent dwellers (Jeremiah 35:7). Arab shepherds in the neighborhood shall roam at large, the whole of Judea being so desolate as to become a vast pasturage.
_ _ waste ... fat ones — the deserted lands of the rich (“fat,” Psalms 22:29), then gone into captivity; “strangers,” that is, nomad tribes shall make their flocks to feed on [Maurer]. Figuratively, “the lambs” are the pious, “the fat ones” the impious. So tender disciples of Jesus Christ (John 21:15) are called “lambs”; being meek, harmless, poor, and persecuted. Compare Ezekiel 39:18, where the fatlings are the rich and great (1 Corinthians 1:26, 1 Corinthians 1:27). The “strangers” are in this view the “other sheep not of the” the Jewish “fold” (John 10:16), the Gentiles whom Jesus Christ shall “bring” to be partakers of the rich privileges (Romans 11:17) which the Jews (“fat ones,” Ezekiel 34:16) fell from. Thus “after their (own) manner” will express that the Christian Church should worship God in freedom, released from legal bondage (John 4:23; Galatians 5:1). |
Isaiah 5:17
Then — When God shall have finished that work of judgment. The lambs — The poor and harmless people, who shall be left in the land when the rich are carried into captivity. Manner — Or, by their fold, as this word is manifestly used, Micah 2:12, the only place of scripture, except this, in which this word is found. Waste places — The lands left by their owners. Fat ones — Of the rich and great men. Strangers — The poor Israelites, who were left to be vine — dressers and husbandmen, 2 Kings 25:12, who are called strangers, because they were so, in reference to that hand, not being the proper owners of it. |
Isaiah 5:17

(x) God comforts the poor lambs of his Church, who had been strangers in other countries, promising that they would dwell in these places again, of which they had been deprived by the fat and cruel tyrants. |
