Isaiah 32:12 - Exposition

They shall lament for the teats , etc.; rather, they shall beat upon the breasts for the pleasant fields , etc . (so the LXX ; the Vulgate, Jarchi, Gesenius, Ewald, Maurer, Knobel, Delitzsch, and Mr. Cheyne). Dr. Kay prefers the rendering of the Authorized Version, understanding by "the teats" such "dry breasts" as Hosea speaks of ( Hosea 9:14 ). But nothing has been said in this place of any such affliction. For the pleasant fields , etc.; i.e. for their loss (see verse 10).
