John Trapp on Isaiah 5:13

Ver. 13. Therefore my people are gone into captivity] i. e. they are ſure to go: So Am. 6.7.

Becauſe they have no knowledge] Heb. Propter non-ſcientiam, i. e. ut ita dicam, non-curantiam, for their brutiſh oſcitancy and inconſiderateneſs, as having buried their wits in their guts, and being miſerably beſotted by their daily ſenſualities. Jer. 5.4. Surely they are poor, they are fooliſh: for they know not the way of the Lord, nor the judgment of their God.

And their honourable men are famiſhed] Heb. are men of hunger or famine. Congrua huic malo lues. They had abuſed their meat and drink to ſurfetting and drunkenneſs: now they ſhall know the worth of thoſe good creatures by the want of them.

And their multitude dryed up with thirſt] The common ſort alſo ſhall taſte of the common calamity:Ioſeph. Egeſip. as they did very deeply when beſieged by Veſpaſian, for the ſpace of five moneths. Ox dung was then a precious diſh unto them, and the ſhreddings of pot-hearbs caſt out and trodden under foot and withered, were taken up again for nouriſhment: yea ſome, to prolong their lives, would not ſtick to eat up that that others had vomited and caſt up. See Iſa. 9.19, 20.
