Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 5:18

18 Wo unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity , and sin as it were with a cartrope :

That are not onely drawn to sin by the Allurements of the World, or by the Perswasions of wicked men, being surprised and overtaken by Sin, as sometimes good men are, Gal. 6. 1. but are active and industrious in drawing Sin to themselves, or themselves to Sin; that greedily and steadily pursue Sin, and the Occasions of it, and are not at rest till they have overtaken it; that sin wilfully, and resolvedly, and industriously.

Or, with cords of lying, as the last Word frequently signifies, i. e. with vain and deceitful Arguments and Pretences, whereby Sinners generally draw themselves to Sin; among which, one follows in the next Verse, to wit, the Impunity which they promise to themselves. Or these Cords may note the Means which they use to accomplish that Iniquity which they have devised.

With all their might, as Beasts commonly do that draw Carts with Ropes.
