Isaiah 32:9-12

The Pulpit Commentary on Isaiah 32:9-12

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

SECTION IX. FURTHER DENUNCIATIONS OF ISRAEL, JOINED WITH PROMISES ().

A REBUKE OF THE WOMEN. It might seem at first sight as if we had here a detached utterance of the prophet, accidentally conjoined with the preceding passage (). But furnish a link of connection between the two portions of the chapter, and make it probable that they were delivered at the same time. Mr. Cheyne supposes that the indifference of a knot of women, gathered at some little distance from the men to whom Isaiah had addressed verses 1-8, provoked the prophet suddenly to turn to them, and speak to them in terms of warning.
