Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 32:9

"Rise up, ye women that are at ease, and hear my voice; ye careless daughters, give ear unto my speech. For days beyond a year shall ye be troubled, ye careless women; for the vintage shall fail, the ingathering shall not come. Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones; strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins. They shall smite upon the breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine. Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 32:9-10

Isaiah 32:9-10. Rise up, ye women— The prophet, to shew the sinners and hypocrites in Zion, (ch. Isaiah 33:14.) that they must not build any false hopes of blessings from God, such as he had just now predicted, while in their state of impenitence,—denounces against them the calamities which, first by the Assyrian, Isa 32:9-10 and then by the Babylonish destruction, Isa 32:11-14 should come upon them. By the women at ease, and careless daughters, are to be understood the cities and villages of... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 32:9

9-20. Address to the women of Jerusalem who troubled themselves little about the political signs of the times, but lived a life of self-indulgence ( :-); the failure of food through the devastations of the enemy is here foretold, being what was most likely to affect them as mothers of families, heretofore accustomed to every luxury. VITRINGA understands "women—daughters" as the cities and villages of Judea (Ezekiel 16:1-63). See Amos 6:1. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 32:9

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 32:9-18

An appeal to Judah’s women to repent 32:9-18Isaiah had appealed to the sons of Israel to return to the Lord (Isaiah 31:6), and now he appealed to the women of Israel to rise up in repentance (Isaiah 32:9; cf. Isaiah 3:16-26). Appeal to both sexes stresses the importance of everyone repenting. As in his appeal to the men, the prophet also announced an immediate threat and a more distant disaster. read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 32:9

(9) Rise up, ye women that are at ease . . .—The beginning of a new section, probably a distinct sermon, or, as it were, pamphlet, against the evils of which the prophet had spoken in Isaiah 2:16-22, and which continued, it would seem, unabated, in spite of Hezekiah’s reformation. It probably finds a place here as painting the harem influence, which then, as in the policy of modern Eastern monarchies, Constantinople and elsewhere, lay behind the counsels of the king and his ministers. The whole... read more
