Isaías 32:16

16 A justiça habitará no deserto,e a retidão viverá no campo fértil.

Isaías 32:16 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 32:16

Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness
In the desert part of the world, inhabited by Pagans, Papists, and Mahometans; where the Scriptures, the rule of judgment, and where the Gospel, sometimes called the judgment of the Lord, ( Isaiah 51:4 ) had no place, now they shall have one, and an abiding one; and men of judgment in spiritual and evangelical things, and such as do justice and judgment, shall dwell there: and righteousness remain in the fruitful field;
both the doctrine and practice of righteousness shall continue in the church of God, which will be the glory of it; the righteous men will be the settled constant inhabitants of it; these will be all righteous at this time, ( Isaiah 60:21 ) not only by profession, but in truth and reality; at least the far greater part; so the Targum interprets it of those that do judgment and do righteousness.

Isaías 32:16 In-Context

14 A fortaleza será abandonada,a cidade barulhenta ficará deserta,a cidadela e a torre das sentinelas se tornarão covis,uma delícia para os jumentos, uma pastagem para os rebanhos,

15 até que sobre nós o Espírito seja derramado do alto,e o deserto se transforme em campo fértil,e o campo fértil pareça uma floresta.

16 A justiça habitará no deserto,e a retidão viverá no campo fértil.

17 O fruto da justiça será paz;o resultado da justiça será tranquilidade e confiança para sempre.

18 O meu povo viverá em locais pacíficos, em casas seguras,em tranquilos lugares de descanso,
