Isaías 32:1-8

1 He aquí que para justicia reinará un rey; y príncipes presidirán para juicio

2 Y será aquel Varón como escondedero contra el viento, y como acogida contra el turbión; como riberas de aguas en tierra de sequedad, como sombra de gran peñasco en tierra calurosa

3 No se cegarán entonces los ojos de los que ven, y los oídos de los oyentes oirán atentos

4 Y el corazón de los tontos entenderá para saber, y la lengua de los tartamudos será desenvuelta para hablar claramente

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

Isaías 32:1-8 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.
