Isaías 32:5-8

5 En aquel día, los necios que viven sin Dios no serán héroes;
los canallas no serán respetados.

6 Pues los necios hablan necedades
y hacen planes malvados;
practican la impiedad
y difunden enseñanzas falsas acerca del Señor
;
privan de alimento a los hambrientos
y no dan agua a los sedientos.

7 Las sutiles artimañas de los canallas son maliciosas;
traman planes torcidos.
Mienten para condenar a los pobres,
aun cuando la causa de los pobres es justa.

8 Pero los generosos proponen hacer lo que es generoso
y se mantienen firmes en su generosidad.

Isaías 32:5-8 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.
