“Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:”
Isaiah 5:18 (KJV)
Commentary on Isaiah 5:18
The vivid metaphor of drawing iniquity 'with cords of vanity' and sin 'as it were with a cart rope' depicts willful, laborious pursuit of evil. Far from being pulled unwillingly into sin, these actively drag it to themselves with effort. The cart rope imagery suggests heavy, sustained labor in service of wickedness. This anticipates Proverbs 5:22 ('his own iniquities shall take the wicked') and Jesus' teaching about serving sin versus righteousness (John 8:34).
