Commentary on Isaiah 5:12

Theological / Devotional

The harp. Or lyre. Music was prominent in their drunken revelry (see Amos 6:5, 6). Instead of being used to the glory of God, music became a powerful tool in the hand of the enemy to bring ruin to the soul.

They regard not. In their wild and wanton revels the consciences of these gluttons became seared, truth and right were forgotten, and their hearts were opened to every form of evil. Lust took the place of love, and violence and terror the place of righteousness.
