Isaiah 5:17 Context
15And the meane man shall bee brought downe, and the mightie man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the loftie shall be humbled. 16But the Lord of hosts shalbe exalted in iudgement, and God that is holy, shall bee sanctified in righteousnesse. 17Then shall the lambes feed after their maner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eate. 18Woe vnto them that draw iniquitie with cords of vanitie, and sinne, as it were with a cart rope: 19That say, Let him make speede, and hasten his worke, that we may see it: and let the counsell of the holy one of Israel draw nigh and come, that wee may know it.

Wesley's Notes for Isaiah 5:17
5:17 Then - When God shall have finished that work of judgment. The lambs - The poor and harmless people, who shall be left in the land when the rich are carried into captivity. Manner - Or, by their fold, as this word is manifestly used, #Mic 2:12|, the only place of scripture, except this, in which this word is found. Waste places - The lands left by their owners. Fat ones - Of the rich and great men. Strangers - The poor Israelites, who were left to be vine - dressers and husbandmen, #2Kings 25:12|, who are called strangers, because they were so, in reference to that hand, not being the proper owners of it.
