Expositor's Bible Commentary - Isaiah 32:1-8

CHAPTER XVA MAN: CHARACTER AND THE CAPACITY TO DISCRIMINATE CHARACTERABOUT 720 B.C.Isaiah 32:1-8THE Assyrians being thus disposed of, Isaiah turns to a prospect, on which we have scarcely heard him speak these twenty years, since Assyria appeared on the frontier of Judah-the religious future and social progress of his own people. This he paints in a small prophecy of eight verses, the first eight of chapter 32- Isaiah 32:9-20 of that chapter apparently springing from somewhat different... 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

Geneva Study Bible - Isaiah 32:1

32:1 Behold, {a} a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall {b} rule in judgment.(a) This prophecy is of Hezekiah, who was a figure of Christ, and therefore it should chiefly be referred to him.(b) By judgment and justice is meant an upright government, both in policy and religion. read more

Geneva Study Bible - Isaiah 32:2

32:2 And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as streams of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in {c} a weary land.(c) Where men are weary with travelling for lack of water. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 32:1-20

JUDAH AND EGYPT These chapters make a unit since, with the exception of the opening part of chapter 28, they chiefly deal with Judah’s futile alliance with Egypt. Isaiah 28:0 Israel, or the kingdom of the ten tribes, is addressed under the name of her leading tribe “Ephraim” (Isaiah 28:1 ). Her great sin is strong drink. “The head of the fat valley” is Samaria the capital, which is soon to be overthrown by the Assyrians (Isaiah 28:2-4 ). Observe, however, the usual forecast of the end of the... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Isaiah 32:1-20

Prophetic Warnings Isaiah 31-33 Remember that. If on hearing that you choose to trust to Egypt, so be it; only, walk in the light, understand your position, make your choice deliberately, and abide by it. All that the Bible, a revelation from God, can do is to make distinctions, announce issues, address appeals to reason and to conscience, and there even an inspired volume ends its labour. The people imagined that Egypt was a sanctuary: the prophet said, It is so, in a very temporary and... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 32:1

CONTENTS The prophet is soaring high in this chapter, and looking far into the blessed things to be brought to pass in gospel times. Under the reign of Christ's kingdom, he foretelleth the glorious events of it! read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 32:1-2

In some of our old Bibles, the reading is rendered more strong, by defining the person to whom this refers. Behold the king. What king? Surely him whom Jehovah himself saith, he hath set upon his holy hill of Zion, Psalms 2:6 . And the same copies read, and that man? What man? Surely he that is to reign in righteousness when the man that is God's fellow, Zechariah 13:7 . We sadly enervate scripture, when we mix up human things with divine. Some have supposed that this scripture is a prophecy... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Isaiah 32:1

King. Ezechias or Josias, as figures of Jesus Christ, who is meant. (Calmet) --- They and their counsellors only foreshewed the advantages derived from Christ and his apostles in a more abundant manner. (St. Jerome) --- Judgment and justice. These words have a higher meaning than what is assigned to them by philosophers. In God, the former implies the preparation of the means for man's redemption, as the latter does the execution; and in man, judgment denotes the selection of what is right,... read more
