Jesaja 32:9

Listen to Jesaja 32:9
9 Staat op, gij geruste vrouwen, hoort mijn stem; gij dochters, die zo zeker zijt, neemt mijn redenen ter ore.

Jesaja 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.

Jesaja 32:9 In-Context

7 En eens gierigaards ganse gereedschap is kwaad; hij beraadslaagt schandelijke verdichtselen, om de ellendigen te bederven met valse redenen, en het recht, als de arme spreekt.
8 Maar een milddadige beraadslaagt milddadigheden, en staat op milddadigheden.
9 Staat op, gij geruste vrouwen, hoort mijn stem; gij dochters, die zo zeker zijt, neemt mijn redenen ter ore.
10 Vele dagen over het jaar zult gij beroerd zijn, gij dochters, die zo zeker zijt, want de wijnoogst zal uit zijn, er zal geen inzameling komen.
11 Beeft, gij geruste vrouwen; weest beroerd, dochters, die zo zeker zijt; trekt u uit, en ontbloot u, en gordt zakken om uw lendenen.
