Barnes' Notes

<< Isaiah 5:8

Isaiah 5:10 >>

Isaiah 5:9

In mine ears - This probably refers to the prophet. As if he had said, ' God has revealed it to me,' or ' God has said in my ears,' i. e, to me. The Septuagint reads it, ' These things are heard in the ears of the Lord of hosts,' that is, the wishes" of the man of avarice. The Chaldee, ' The prophet said, In my ears I have heard; a decree has gone from the Lord of hosts,' etc.

Many houses shall be desolate - Referring to the calamities that should come upon the nation for its crimes.
