Charles Ellicott Commentary Isaiah 27:2

"In that day: A vineyard of wine, sing ye unto it." — Isaiah 27:2 (ASV)

In that day sing ye... —The prophet appears once again, as in Isaiah 26:1, as the hymn writer of the future day of the triumph of the redeemed. He had chanted a dirge over the vineyard that was unfruitful, and therefore given over to desolation. He now changes the wailing into a poem. The word translated “red wine” signifies “fiery,” or “foaming.” The Septuagint seems to have followed a different text, giving (with the alteration of a single letter) the meaning, “a pleasant vineyard.”
