‏ Isaiah 27:2

     2. In that day when leviathan shall be destroyed, the vineyard (Ps 80:8), the Church of God, purged of its blemishes, shall be lovely in God's eyes; to bring out this sense the better, LOWTH, by changing a Hebrew letter, reads "pleasant," "lovely," for "red wine."

      sing—a responsive song [LOWTH].

      unto her—rather, "concerning her" (see on Isa 5:1); namely, the Jewish state [MAURER].

‏ Isaiah 27:6

     6. He—Jehovah. Here the song of the Lord as to His vineyard (Isa 27:2-5) ends; and the prophet confirms the sentiment in the song, under the same image of a vine (compare Ps 92:13-15; Ho 14:5, 6).

      Israel . . . fill . . . world— (Ro 11:12).
