George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Isaiah 32:13

Up. Being uncultivated for two years. This was still more the case during the captivity. (Calmet) --- How. Septuagint, "from every house joy shall be taken away, thou rich city." (Haydock) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 32:9-20

9-20 When there was so much provocation given to the holy God, bad times might be expected. Alas! how many careless ones there are, who support self-indulgence by shameful niggardliness! We deserve to be deprived of the supports of life, when we make them the food of lusts. Let such tremble and be troubled. Blessed times shall be brought in by the pouring out of the Spirit from on high; then, and not till then, there will be good times. The present state of the Jews shall continue until a more... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 32:9-20

Desolation and Restoration v. 9. Rise up, ye women that are at ease, who lived a life of self-indulgence, without regarding the dangers of their times; hear my voice, ye careless daughters, heedless of the larger issues of life; give ear unto my speech. v. 10. Many days and years shall ye be troubled, literally, "days upon a year," that is, an indefinite number of days, at the most a year, ye careless women; for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come, there would be no... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Isaiah 32:9-20

4.—THE PRESENT PUNISHMENT OF THE PROUD WOMEN, AND THE FUTURE GLORY OF THE NATIONIsaiah 32:9-209     Rise up, ye women that Ire at ease;Hear my voice, ye careless daughters;Give ear unto my speech.10     14 Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women:For the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.11     Tremble, ye women that are at ease;Be troubled, ye careless ones:Strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins.12     15 They shall lament for the... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 32:9-20

the Fruits of Righteousness Isaiah 32:9-20 When Christ’s kingdom is set up it will bring dismay to the poor children of fashion. For more days than there are in the year will they be troubled, Isaiah 32:10 , and will smite on their breasts in lamentation, Isaiah 32:12 . The prediction of Isaiah 32:15-20 includes Pentecost, and looks forward to the era which lies immediately beyond this travail of the world. What is now reckoned as a fruitful field will be regarded as a barren forest in... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 32:1-20

In this message the prophet describes the reign of the coming King, and then suddenly appeals to the women. He describes the reign of the King as establishment of order and creation of refuge and refreshment for all in distress. The beneficent effects of such a reign are restoration of sensibility and a true sense of values, in which men will know violence and call it by its right name, and recognize true nobility. Evidently conscious of how different were the circumstances in which he was... read more

James Nisbet

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 32:13

A TERRIBLE CROP‘Upon the land of My people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city.’ Isaiah 32:13 I. The prophets spoke of things to come, but they spoke of things present also; they held up a light in a dark place, imperfectly understood in their own days, but bright and clear when the full day arose, of which they had obscurely spoken; but they also held up a light, a broad blazing light, to the men of their own times, which would never become... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 32:9-14

Life As It Will Be Before The King Comes In Terms of Careless Women At Ease (Isaiah 32:9-14 ). Isaiah showed neither fear nor favour. He was as ready to draw attention to the sins of the womenfolk as well as those of the men. He was concerned that none should be able to hide behind a cloak of anonymity. Here he castigates the better off women who enjoy their ease and are overconfident and complacent, we might almost say ‘cocky’, about themselves and their importance. He no doubt met many of... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 32:1-20

Isaiah 32. This chapter is regarded by some scholars as non-Isaianic on the ground of phraseology and ideas, but while it may have been interpolated, it is probably in the main Isaiah’ s work. It falls into two parts: ( a) Isaiah 32:1-Ruth :, ( b) Isaiah 32:9-Proverbs :. The date of the former is uncertain. It may belong to the same period as Isaiah 28-31. The address to the women which follows recalls the denunciation in Isaiah 3:16-Jeremiah :, but it does not necessarily belong to the same... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 32:13

Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers. If any of you think there is no great cause for such trembling and lamentation, which shall last but for a year and some days, know that this calamity by the Assyrians is but an earnest of further and sorer judgments; for the time is coming when this land shall be laid desolate, and instead of vines and other fruits, it shall yield nothing but briers and thorns; of which see on Isaiah 7:23,Isaiah 7:24. Upon all the houses of joy; upon... read more
