以赛亚书 32:2-5 RCUVSS

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 32:2

A man shall be as an hiding-place from the wind , etc. Modem critics mostly render, "each man"— i.e. the king, and each of his princes. But it is, to say the least, allowable —with Vitringa and Kay—to regard the word as referring to the king only (comp. Zechariah 6:12 , where ish , a man, is used in the same vague way of One who is clearly the Messiah). There was never but one man who could be to other men all that is predicated in this verse of the "man" mentioned (comp. Isaiah... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 32:2

What Christ is to his people. The prophet enumerates (in Isaiah 32:2 ) some of the chief relations in which Messiah, when he came, would stand to his people. All his announcements are fulfilled in Christ. I. CHRIST IS A HIDING - PLACE FROM THE WIND . When the winds of affliction blow, when "the blast of the terrible ones" is upon us, above all, when the breath of the wrath of God seems to sweep down on us and scorch us up, there is one Refuge only to which we can flee—one... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 32:2

The soul's rest. "The shadow of a great rock in a weary land." This is an Eastern picture. God is described as our Shade . In the glare of a too-garish day we become endangered; the sun of prosperity smites us. Sunlight has its penalties as well as its pleasures. So has success! The human heart cannot bear too much of brightness. We need shadows for the mind to rest under as well as for the body. I. A MAN IS HERE DESCRIBED . The God-Man. One who, knowing our infirmities and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 32:2

Refuge in Christ and in one another. In this country we can hardly hope to feel all the three and beauty of this illustration. To do that we must have visited tropical regions. There, with the rays of the sun shining directly down, the heat becomes so intense and intolerable that it cannot be endured, and often "the shadow of a great rock" means, not merely refreshment, but salvation. And as with the heat, so with the storm—the whirlwind, the tempest, the simoom: what desolations do not... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 32:3

The eyes of them that see shall not be dim . In Messiah's kingdom there shall be no judicial blindness, such as that threatened in Isaiah 6:9 , Isaiah 6:10 , and described in Isaiah 29:10 , Isaiah 29:11 ; but men shall see the truth clearly (comp. Isaiah 29:18 ; Isaiah 35:5 ; Matthew 13:16 , etc.). The ears.; shall hearken; i.e. "shall both hear and understated " (compare "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear"). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 32:3-4

Disabled and restored. The words are suggestive of the spiritual incapacity of which Israel was too often guilty (see Ezekiel 12:2 ), and of the recovery which, in better days, they were to experience. I. MAN DISABLED BY SIN . There are four directions in which we suffer sad deterioration and incapacity as the consequence of our sin. 1. Spiritual perception . After some transgressions, after continued disobedience and estrangement from God, we fail to "see light in his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 32:4

The heart also of the rash ; i.e. of those who were rash and hasty, who would not give themselves time to understand the warnings addressed to them, or to think of the real character of their actions. These shall, in Messiah's kingdom, "have the gift of discernment to perceive things in their true nature" (Delitzsch). The tongue of the stammerers . The tongue of those who hitherto have spoken hesitatingly and inconsistently on moral and religions subjects shall be ready —i.e; prompt... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 32:5

The vile person shall be no more called liberal ; rather, the foolish person— as nabal is commonly translated ( Deuteronomy 32:6 ; 2 Samuel 3:33 ; 2 Samuel 13:13 ; Psalms 14:1 ; Psalms 39:8 ; Psalms 74:22 , etc.)—such a man as the "Nabal" of 1 Samuel 25:1-44 . Men are apt to confound moral distinctions, and to call the "fools" who waste their substance in feasting and revelry "generous" or "liberal," and the niggards ( churls ) who hoard their riches "warm men," "wealthy... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 32:5-8

A mark of good government, etc. Three lines of thought are here laid down. We have— I. A MARK OF GOOD GOVERNMENT . The displacement of the unworthy and the elevation of the good and wise. Under the reign of the righteous King ( Isaiah 32:1 ) the "fool will no longer be called a nobleman," the man of mean character but lofty rank will be made to know his true place in the commonwealth; on the other hand, the man who has in him the qualities of nobility ( Isaiah 32:8 ) shall... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 32:2

And a man - That is, evidently, the man referred to in the previous verse, to wit, Hezekiah.Shall be as an hiding-place from the wind - A place where one may take refuge from a violent wind and tempest (see the note at Isaiah 25:4).A covert - A place of shelter and security. Wind and tempest are emblematic of calamity and oppression; and the sense is, that Hezekiah would be the protector of his people, and would save them from the calamities to which they had been subjected in former reigns.As... read more
