“Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.”
Isaiah 5:17 (KJV)
Commentary on Isaiah 5:17
The imagery of lambs feeding in former waste places and strangers eating ruins of the fat depicts complete reversal: covenant people displaced, their inheritance consumed by foreigners. This fulfills covenant curse that others would enjoy their labor (Deuteronomy 28:33). Yet the pastoral scene also hints at eventual restoration when judgment runs its course. The paradox of desolate places becoming pastures suggests God's ability to bring life from death.
