Ésaïe 32:15-20

15 Jusqu'à ce que l'Esprit soit répandu sur nous d'en haut, que le désert devienne un verger, et que le verger soit semblable à une forêt.
16 Alors l'équité habitera dans le désert, et la justice fera sa demeure dans le verger.
17 La justice produira la paix, et le fruit de la justice sera le repos et la sûreté pour toujours.
18 Mon peuple habitera une demeure paisible, des habitations sûres et des asiles tranquilles.
19 Mais la forêt tombera sous la grêle, et la ville sera entièrement abaissée.
20 Heureux, vous qui semez près de toutes les eaux, qui y faites mouvoir le pied du bœuf et de l'âne!

Ésaïe 32:15-20 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.
