This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
In that day; when this potent enemy shall be destroyed·
A vineyard of red wine: the words in the Hebrew text lie thus, A vineyard (Behold, a vineyard; or, Jacob or Israel, my church and people, which is sufficiently understood from the next verse, and is expressed Isa_27:6, shall be a vineyard, shall be defended and dressed, shall thrive and flourish like a vineyard) of red wine, (i.e. of the choicest and best wine, which in those parts was red, as appears both from Scripture, as Pro_23:31, whence it is called the blood of the grape, Gen_49:11 Deu_32:14, and from other authors,)
sing ye (O you faithful souls, sing with joy and thanksgiving to God) to (or of, or concerning, as this prefix is elsewhere used) her, or it, to wit, the vineyard, or church, (which is frequently compared to a vineyard, as Psa_80:8 Isa_5:7, and elsewhere,) now delivered from her great enemy, and blessed with peace and prosperity.
