Isaiah 32:20 - Exposition

Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters . The idyllic picture, begun in Isaiah 32:15 , terminates here. The people of the kingdom have a well-watered land ( Isaiah 30:25 ), where they live peacefully, sowing their seed beside the water-courses, and having abundant pasture for their peaceful beasts—the ox and the ass (comp. Isaiah 30:24 ). A spiritual meaning doubtless underlies the literal sense.
