Isaías 32:1-9

1 He aquí, un rey reinará con justicia, y príncipes gobernarán con rectitud.

2 Cada uno será como refugio contra el viento y un abrigo contra la tormenta, como corrientes de agua en tierra seca, como la sombra de una gran peña en tierra árida.

3 No se cegarán entonces los ojos de los que ven, y los oídos de los que oyen escucharán.

4 El corazón de los imprudentes discernirá la verdad, y la lengua de los tartamudos se apresurará a hablar claramente.

5 Ya no se llamará noble al necio, ni al tramposo se le dirá generoso.

6 Pues el necio habla necedades, y su corazón se inclina hacia el mal, para practicar la impiedad y hablar falsedad contra el SEÑOR, para mantener con hambre al hambriento y para privar de bebida al sediento.

7 En cuanto al tramposo, sus armas son malignas; trama designios perversos para destruir con calumnias a los afligidos, aun cuando el necesitado hable lo que es justo.

8 Pero el noble concibe cosas nobles, y en las cosas nobles se afirma.

9 Levantaos, mujeres indolentes, y oíd mi voz; hijas confiadas, prestad oído a mi palabra.

Isaías 32:1-9 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO ISAIAH 32

This chapter contains a prophecy of the Messiah; for, however applicable it may be to Hezekiah, as a type of Christ, it only has its full accomplishment in him, and in his times; who is described as a righteous King, and as having just princes ruling under him, Isa 32:1 and as a very great blessing, protection, and comfort to his subjects, Isa 32:2 when follows a prediction of great light and knowledge that should be in his days, Isa 32:3,4 and of the vileness, hypocrisy, and covetousness of the Jews in his times, Isa 32:5-8 and of the destruction of their country, because of their sins, of which they seemed greatly insensible, and were unconcerned about it, and are therefore called upon to lament it, Isa 32:9-14 which should continue until there would be a very great effusion of the Spirit, as should make the world, comparable to a wilderness, fruitful in grace and good works; the consequence of which is great prosperity, peace, and safety, to the saints, Isa 32:15-18 and destruction to their enemies, particularly the city of Rome, Isa 32:19 and the chapter is concluded with the happiness of the Gospel ministration, and the success of it, Isa 32:20.
