Isaia 32:9 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 32:9

Rise up, ye women that are at ease
On beds of down, unconcerned about the present or future state of the nation; who had their share of guilt in the nation's sins, particularly pride, luxury, superstition, rejection of the Messiah, and contempt of his Gospel, and so should have their part in its punishment. Some think that the men of the nation are so called, because of their effeminacy. The Jews interpret them of the other cities of Judea, besides Jerusalem; the Targum explains it by provinces:

hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear to my speech;
the words of the prophet concerning the future desolation of their country; here it is thought the lesser towns and villages are intended by daughters, who dwelt in confidence and security, having no thought and notion of destruction coming upon them; so Ben Melech interprets the "women" of cities, and the "daughters" of villages.

Isaia 32:9 In-Context

7 Le armi dell’impostore sono malvage; ei forma criminosi disegni per distruggere il misero con parole bugiarde, e il bisognoso quando afferma il giusto.

8 Ma l’uomo nobile forma nobile disegni, e sorge a pro di nobile cose.

9 O donne spensierate, levatevi, e ascoltate la mia voce! O figlie troppo fiduciose, porgete orecchio alla mia parola!

10 Fra una anno e qualche giorno, voi tremerete, o donne troppo fiduciose, poiché la vendemmia è ita, e non si farà raccolta.

11 Abbiate spavento, o donne spensierate! tremate, o troppo fiduciose! Spogliatevi, nudatevi, cingetevi di cilicio i fianchi,
