Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 32:17
The work of righteousness - Righteousness works and produces peace. The effect of righteousness - עבדת abodath , the culture. Righteousness, cultivated by peace, produces tranquillity of mind and permanent security. Reader, hast thou the principle? If so, dost thou cultivate it? If thou dost, thou hast peace of conscience, joy in the Holy Ghost, and a sure and certain hope of everlasting life. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 32:19
The city shalt be low all a low place. "The city shall be laid level with the plain" - For ובשפלה ubashephelah , the Syriac reads וכשפלה ukeshephelah .

For וברד ubarad , a MS. has וירד vaiyered ; and so conjectured Abp. Secker, referring to Zechariah 11:2 . read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 32:20
That sow beside all waters "Who sow your seed in every well-watered place" - Sir John Chardin's note on this place is: "This exactly answers the manner of planting rice; for they sow it upon the water, and before sowing, while the earth is covered with water, they cause the ground to be trodden by oxen, horses, and asses, who go mid-leg deep; and this is the way of preparing the ground for sowing. As they sow the rice on the water, they transplant it in the water. "Harmer's Observ. vol. 1 p.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 32:9-20
Until the Spirit be poured out. How constantly does Scripture speak of every happy reformation as due to the "outpouring of the Spirit," or the sending or breathing of the Spirit on human-kind! Language none the less expressive because mysterious. Those epochs cannot be forecast: no meteorology can explain to us these movements "from on high." But they may be waited for and prepared for, without fear of disappointment. Again and again they had come to the prophet's heart; and from his heart... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 32:13
Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briars. This was the punishment with which the unfruitful vineyard was threatened in Isaiah 5:6 . It may be understood either literally or of the wickedness that would abound when the time of judgment came. Yea, upon all the houses of joy (comp. Isaiah 5:9 ). If Sennacherib carried off, as he declares, more than two hundred thousand captives from Judaea, he must have left many houses without inhabitants. The solitude begun by him was... read more

A FURTHER MINGLING OF THREATS WITH COMFORTING PROMISES . The women require, like the men, to be both warned and comforted, wherefore the prophet addresses to them, as to the men in Isaiah 30:1-33 . and 31; an intermixture of threatening ( Isaiah 30:13 , Isaiah 30:14 ) with promise ( Isaiah 30:15-20 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 32:14
The palaces shall be forsaken ; literally, the palace ; but the word is used in a generic sense. The prophet sees in vision Jerusalem deserted by her inhabitants, the grand houses of the rich empty, the strongholds haunted by wild beasts, and the slopes of the hills fed on by sheep, and even occasionally visited by the timid and solitude-loving wild ass. The description suits well the time of the Babylonian captivity, but not any earlier period. Probably it was not revealed to the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 32:15
Until . The expression "until" modifies the previous "forever," showing that the desolation was not always to continue. The Spirit be poured upon us from on high. An effluence from the Holy Spirit of God on individuals of eminence, prophets, kings, artificers, to fit them for their tasks, is recognized in many of the earlier books of Scripture, and especially in the Davidical psalms. But a general effluence of the Spirit of holiness on a nation, to produce a change of heart, seems to be... read more

The palaces shall be forsaken - The house of the sanctuary (the temple) shall be destroyed. - Targum. The forts "Ophel" - It was a part of Mount Zion, rising higher than the rest, at the eastern extremity, near to the temple, a little to the south of it; called by Micah, Micah 4:8 , "Ophel of the daughter of Zion. "It was naturally strong by its situation; and had a wall of its own, by which it was separated from the rest of Zion. read more
