イザヤ書 32:15-19 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 32:13-20

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 32:15

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 Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 32:15

The Spirit as a quickening Rain. The results produced by heavy rains in the East are so striking that these rains become a suggestive figure of the influence of God's Spirit on souls and on Churches. In times of prolonged drought, the ground is burnt up and chapped, and every sign of vegetation is destroyed. Then come the rains, the life in the soil responds, and in a few hours the world is green again. The figure of " pouring forth," or " pouring out," needs, however, to be very... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 32:15-17

The fruits of the Spirit in a community. The first result of the effluence of the Holy Spirit on man is fruitfulness: "the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field a forest." The dry ground of a stony heart is changed into a cultivated garden, which "brings forth much fruit." The heart which already bore some fruit is "purged, that it may bring forth more fruit" ( John 15:2 ). Then, when individuals have been thus changed and "purged" and perfected one by one, judgment... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 32:16

Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness . In all parts of the kingdom of Christ, the lowest as well as the highest, "judgment" and "righteousness" shall prevail (comp. Isaiah 32:1 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 32:17

The work of righteousness shall be peace . Peace—a true peace, not a false one ( Jeremiah 6:14 )—shall be the result of the reign of righteousness. War, quarrels, enmity, hostile feelings, are all of them the fruit of unrighteousness. In the kingdom of the Messiah, just so far forth as it is thoroughly established, "the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace" ( James 3:18 ). The effect of righteousness ; literally, the service of righteousness, which perhaps... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 32:17

Righteousness and peace. Christianity means "righteousness," and "righteousness" is an active power, ever working towards the production of peace, quietness, and mutual confidence. "The element of peace is that by which order is established and perpetuated, people are brought to cordial agreement and willing submission, unity is made a living and growing fact, and all the arts of domestic life and of civilized communities are promoted." The great Napoleon said, "War is the business of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 32:17-18

The peaceable fruit of righteousness. Righteousness and peace may be supposed to be entirely separate things; by those who look only on the surface they may even be imagined to be opposed to one another. In fact, they are closely and even vitally related to each other. I. THOSE WHO ARE INCAPABLE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS ARE UNRECEPTIVE OF PEACE . To them peace is simply incommunicable; it does not come within the range of their faculties. The horse, the swallow, the salmon,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 32:18

Quiet resting-places. The figure in this verse is connected with the relief afforded by the destruction of Sennacherib's army, and consequent retirement of Sennacherib to Assyria. Before the invaders all persons living in the country had to flee to the shelter of the walled cities, abandoning the property which they could not readily carry with them. On the removal of the invaders, the sense of security would return, and such persons would go home and find "quiet resting-places." We see in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 32:19

When it shall hail, coming down on the forest ; rather, but it shall hail in the coming down ( i.e. the destruction) of the forest . "The forest" has commonly been regarded as Assyria, on the strength of Isaiah 10:18 , Isaiah 10:19 , Isaiah 10:33 , Isaiah 10:34 . Mr. Cheyne, however, suggests Judah, or the high and haughty ones of Judah, whose destruction was a necessary preliminary to the establishment of Christ's kingdom. May not God's enemies generally be meant? The city.... read more
