Isaiah 32:18

18 Then my people will dwell in a peaceful place, and in safe and restful dwellings.

Isaiah 32:18 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 32:18

And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation
Jews and Gentiles, and all the saints, shall dwell in peace and love one with another, and shall be free from all the outrages and persecutions of the enemy; which, when these happy times of the pouring forth of the Spirit and of the spiritual reign of Christ come, will be no more: and in sure dwellings;
where they may dwell safely and confidently, secure from all enemies, in no fear of them, and free from all hurt and danger by them: and in quiet resting places;
where they may sleep and rest quietly, and none to disturb them, and make them afraid: and though all this may be understood of their private houses and habitations, yet may well enough be applied to the several Christian communities and churches to which they belong; where they shall enjoy much spiritual prosperity and safety, great peace and quietness, comfort and rest, under the ministry of the word, and administration of ordinances.

Isaiah 32:18 In-Context

16 Then justice will inhabit the wilderness, and righteousness will dwell in the orchard.
17 The result of righteousness will be peace; the effect of righteousness will be quiet confidence forever.
18 Then my people will dwell in a peaceful place, and in safe and restful dwellings.
19 But hail will level the forest, and the city will sink into the depths.
20 Happy are you who sow seed beside abundant waters, who let ox and donkey range freely.
