Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 5:18

Theological / Devotional

Draw iniquity. The third woe is addressed to those who persist in their evil ways, folly aware of what they are doing. They are willingly bound to their iniquities with cords, as it were, and perversely resist every influence designed to set them free (see ch. 61:1).

A cart rope. A cart rope is thicker and stronger than a mere cord, and represents an advanced stage of rebelliousness in which the wicked are bound to their sins with bonds impossible to break. By persisting in evil they are sealing their own doom.
