Isaías 32:5-15

5 El mezquino nunca más será llamado liberal, ni será dicho generoso el avariento.

6 Porque el mezquino hablará mezquindades, y su corazón fabricará iniquidad, para hacer la impiedad; y para hablar escarnio contra el SEÑOR; dejando vacía el alma hambrienta, y quitando la bebida al sediento.

7 Cierto los avaros malas medidas tienen ; él maquina pensamientos para enredar a los simples con palabras cautelosas; y para hablar en juicio contra el pobre.

8 Mas el liberal pensará liberalidades; y por liberalidades subirá.

9 Mujeres reposadas, levantaos; oíd mi voz; mujeres confiadas, escuchad mi razón.

10 Días y años tendréis espanto, oh confiadas; porque la vendimia faltará, y la cosecha no acudirá.

11 Temblad, oh reposadas; turbaos, oh confiadas. Despojaos, desnudaos, ceñid los lomos con cilicio .

12 Sobre los pechos lamentarán por los campos deleitosos, por la vid fértil.

13 Sobre la tierra de mi pueblo subirán espinas y cardos; y aun sobre todas las casas de placer en la ciudad de alegría.

14 Porque los palacios serán desiertos, el estruendo de la ciudad cesará; las torres y fortalezas se tornarán cuevas para siempre, donde descansen asnos monteses, y ganados hagan majada,

15 hasta que sobre nosotros sea derramado espíritu de lo alto, y el desierto se torne en campo labrado; y el campo labrado sea estimado por bosque.

Isaías 32:5-15 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.
