イザヤ書 32:13-20 JC

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 32:20

The blessed residents of the land in the distant future will enjoy the best existence, represented here in a pastoral setting. They will be in right relation to God, having responded to His invitations to return to and hear the Lord (Isaiah 31:6; Isaiah 32:9). Their blessing will consist of divine favor (cf. Psalms 32:1), personal fulfillment (cf. Psalms 112:1), and total rectitude (cf. Psalms 2:12; Psalms 37:8-9). Many amillennial interpreters take the eschatological blessings of Isaiah... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 32:14

(14) The palaces shall be forsaken.—With a bold pencil and rapid strokes the picture of desolation is sketched in outline. The forts are those of Ophel (so in Heb.), the fortified south-eastern slope of the Temple mountain; the towers, probably such as “the tower of the flock,” mentioned in conjunction with Ophel in Micah 4:8. These would serve as dens for the wild asses, which commonly roved in the open country. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 32:15

(15) Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high . . .—There was, then, a fixed limit of the desolation then described. Isaiah dwelt, as Joel (Joel 2:28) had dwelt before him, on the outpouring of the Spirit which should sweep away the frivolities of a profligate luxury and lead to a nobler life. The effect of that outpouring is described in symbolic language which had been used before (see Note on Isaiah 29:17), the “wilderness” taking the place of Lebanon. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 32:16

(16) Then judgment shall dwell . . .—Outward blessings, themselves symbols of something beyond themselves, are followed by spiritual. Over the whole country, from the one extreme of cultivation to the other, the judgment and righteousness which had been so lacking should now find a home, and bring their blessed fruits of peace, and confidence, and calm. The whole picture is that of a smiling land, a God-fearing and contented people, all in striking contrast with the panic and unrest with which... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 32:19

(19) When it shall hail, coming down on the forest.—Better, But it shall hail. A time of sharp judgment, “hailstones and coals of fire,” is to precede that of blessedness and peace. Of such a judgment “hail” was the natural symbol. (Comp. Isaiah 30:30; Ezekiel 13:13.) The “forest” stands in the symbolism of prophecy for the rulers and princes of any kingdom, as in Isaiah 10:34 for those of Assyria, and here probably of Judah. Not a few commentators refer the words here also to Assyria, but the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 32:20

(20) Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters.—The picture of a golden age of agriculture receives its final touch. The whole land should be irrigated by calmly flowing streams, and men should cast their seed broadcast, and the oxen and the asses should draw the plough over a rich and fertile land. The whole land should be under tillage, instead of being left to supply (as in Isaiah 7:21-22) a poor and meagre pasturage, or to bring forth nothing but the “thorns and briars” of Isaiah 32:13. It... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 32:9-20

CHAPTER XVIISAIAH TO WOMENDATE UNCERTAINIsaiah 32:9-20THE date of this prophecy, which has been appended to those spoken by Isaiah during the Egyptian intrigues (704-702), is not certain. It is addressed to women, and there is no reason why the prophet, when he was upbraiding the men of Judah for their false optimism, should not also have sought to awaken the conscience of their wives and daughters on what is the besetting sin rather of women than of men. The chief evidence for dissociating the... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Isaiah 32:1-20

CHAPTER 32 The Coming King and His Kingdom 1. The King and His rule (Isaiah 32:1-8 ) 2. The careless women addressed (Isaiah 32:9-12 ) 3. The judgment of the land and the city (Isaiah 32:13-14 ) 4. The hope of the future (Isaiah 32:15-20 ) The connection with the previous chapter is obvious. In Isaiah 31:4-9 the coming of the Lord for the deliverance of His people and the punishment of their enemies is predicted. “So shall the Lord of Hosts come down to fight Mount Zion and the hill... read more
