F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 32:1-8

a Nobler Future for the Nation Isaiah 31:1-9 ; Isaiah 32:1-8 Isaiah continues to denounce the contemplated alliance with Egypt. His compatriots put their trust in horses and chariots, and refused the help of their fathers’ God. Yet was He not so wise as the Egyptians, and equally as strong! And were they not running a fearful risk in rejecting One who would not recall His words of threatened punishment to those who refused His help? At best, the Egyptians were men, and not God, and their... read more

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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 32:1-3

The Coming King (Isaiah 32:1-3 ). The final result of Yahweh’s activity will be the rise of the righteous king and the establishment of the perfect kingdom. This can be compared with Isaiah 11:1-9.

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 32:1

This seems to me to be a distinct prophecy from the former, and delivered at another time, and probably before that which is related in the former chapters. For this is certain, and confessed by all, that the prophecies are not always set down in that order in which the prophets delivered them. The foregoing prophecy seems to have been delivered, not in the time of Ahaz, for he sent to the Assyrian, and not to the Egyptian, for help; but in the days of Hezekiah, who rebelled against the king of... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Isaiah 32:1

king (See Scofield " :-") . In chapters 32.-35. the same blended meanings of near and far fulfilments are found. The near view is still of Sennacherib's invasion, the far view of the day of the Lord. Isaiah 2:10-22; Revelation 19:11-21 and the kingdom blessing to follow. read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 32:1-20

Chapter 32Now as we get into chapter 32 Isaiah jumps over a couple of millennia at least, as he looks forward. As God is going to come down and as a crouching lion roaring and so forth, over her prey, in verse Isaiah 32:4 going back to chapter 31. As the Lord of hosts shall come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof, He is likened unto a lion, a young lion that is roaring on his prey.When you turn to the book of Revelation and you read there of the return of Jesus Christ, it... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 32:1-20

Isaiah 32:3 . The eyes of them that see shall not be dim. The whole land shall be full of smiling affluence and joy; they shall have health of countenance, and look up with joy to a paternal throne. The passage applies farther to the Messiah, who opened the eyes of the blind, unstopped the ears of the deaf, and caused the dumb to publish his praise. Isaiah 32:15 . Till the Spirit be poured upon us from on high. The glory of the latter day is uniformly said to commence with an effusion... read more

Isaiah 32:1-8Behold, a King shall reign in righteousnessAsayria and JudahSuch (Isaiah 31:8-9) will be the ignominious end of the proud battalions of Assyria.For Judah a happier future immediately begins. There should be no break between the two chapters. The representation which follows (Isaiah 32:1-8) is the positive complement to Isaiah 31:6 f., and is parallel to Isaiah 30:23-26, completing under its ethical and spiritual aspects the picture of which the external material features were there... read more

Shall reign in righteousness. ] Regiment without righteousness, is but robbery with authority. “ Eν δε δικαιοσυνη συλληβοην πας αρετ εστι . ” And princes shall rule in judgment. ] Not as Shebna, and those others placed in by wicked Ahaz, do now, while the king is young, and not so well able to weed them out. Evil junior rulers are a... read more
