Yesaya 5:2
Konteks5:2 He built a hedge around it, 1 removed its stones,
and planted a vine.
He built a tower in the middle of it,
and constructed a winepress.
He waited for it to produce edible grapes,
but it produced sour ones instead. 2
Yesaya 44:26
Konteks44:26 who fulfills the oracles of his prophetic servants 3
and brings to pass the announcements 4 of his messengers,
who says about Jerusalem, 5 ‘She will be inhabited,’
and about the towns of Judah, ‘They will be rebuilt,
her ruins I will raise up,’
[5:2] 1 tn Or, “dug it up” (so NIV); KJV “fenced it.’ See HALOT 810 s.v. עזק.
[5:2] 2 tn Heb “wild grapes,” i.e., sour ones (also in v. 4).
[5:2] sn At this point the love song turns sour as the Lord himself breaks in and completes the story (see vv. 3-6). In the final line of v. 2 the love song presented to the Lord becomes a judgment speech by the Lord.
[44:26] 3 tn Heb “the word of his servant.” The following context indicates that the Lord’s prophets are in view.
[44:26] 4 tn Heb “counsel.” The Hebrew term עֵצָה (’etsah) probably refers here to the divine plan as announced by the prophets. See HALOT 867 s.v. I עֵצָה.
