Kretzmann's Popular Commentary

Isaiah 32:13

Upon the land of my people, which formerly had been a type of unexampled fruitfulness, shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy, which were so abundant in the capital city, in the joyous city. The Prophet, as in chapter 3, has in mind women who have never known any want, but have continually lived in abundance and luxury. His purpose was to frighten them out of their secure amid proud repose and to make them realize the condition in which their land was on account of tire sins of its inhabitants.
