Isaiah 32:6

For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail. FOR THE VILE PERSON WILL SPEAK VILLANY. Christ at His coming will manifest vile men in their real character, having stripped off them the mask which now they wear, and will deal with them accordingly. Grotius takes it present: 'For the (irreligious) fool speaketh folly (so vile ... villany, mean as in ), and his heart worketh iniquity,' etc. Thus, the reason is assigned why such persons will be excluded from offices of dignity in the coming kingdom. I prefer the English version as explained above. Compare . TO PRACTICE HYPOCRISY - rat...

6._For the vile person will speak vileness. _We might also render it, “The wicked man will speak wickedly;” for נבלה (_nĕbālāh_) denotes “baseness” or any wickedness, such as is meant by the French word _lascheté _, or by the English words, “lewdness” or “baseness.” It might also be rendered, “The fool will speak wickedly;” and thus there would be an allusion to the words נבל (_nābāl_) and נבלה, (_nĕbālāh_,) (333) though the meaning would be considerably different; but, since he employed this word in the former verse, when speaking of “vile” persons, I willingly adopt that interpretation. _And his heart will contrive iniquity. _I consider און (ā_vĕn_) to denote “wickedness;” for he speaks of giving themselves up continually to sin and d

1-8 Christ our righteous King, and his true disciples, are evidently here intended. The consolations and graces of his Spirit are as rivers of water in this dry land; and as the overhanging rock affords refreshing shade and shelter to the weary traveller in the desert, so his power, truth, and love, yield the believer the only real protection and refreshment in the weary land through which he journeys to heaven. Christ bore the storm himself, to keep it off from us. To him let the trembling sinner flee for refuge; for he alone can protect and refresh us in every trial. See what pains sinners take in sin; they labour at it, their hearts are intent upon it, and with art they work iniquity; but this is our comfort, that they can do no more mischief than God permits. Let us seek to have our hearts more freed from selfishness. The liberal soul devises liberal things concerning God, and desir...

Verse Isaiah 32:6. _THE VILE PERSON WILL SPEAK VILLANY_ - "The fool will still utter folly"] A sort of proverbial saying, which _Euripides_ (Bacchae, 369) has expressed in the very same manner and words: Μωρα γαρ μωρος λεγει· "The fool speaks folly." Of this kind of simple and unadorned proverb or parable, see _De S. Poes_, Hebr. Praelect. xxiv. _AGAINST THE LORD_ - "Against JEHOVAH"] For אל _El_, two MSS. read אל _al_, more properly; but both are of nearly the same meaning....

FOR THE VILE PERSON - Hebrew, ‘The fool.’ This word more properly expresses the idea than ‘vile person.’ The Hebrews Used the name fool to denote not only one destitute of understanding, but a knave, a dishonest man - regarding sin as the highest folly (see 1Sa 25:25; 2 Samuel 3:33; Job 2:10). WILL SPEAK VILLAINY - Hebrew, ‘Will speak folly.’ That is, he will act in accordance with his nature; it is his nature to speak folly, and he will do it. Under a wicked and unjust administration such persons might be the subjects flattery Isaiah 32:5, and might be raised to office and power. But under the administration of a virtuous ki

SECTION VIII. A PROPHECY OF MESSIAH'S KINGDOM (Isaiah 32:1). EXPOSITION ISAIAH 32:1 A PROPHECY OF MESSIAH'S KINGDOM. It is generally allowed that this prophecy is Messianic; but some critics insist that it is not so "in a narrow sense." They regard Isaiah as expecting Messiah's kingdom to follow immediately on the discomfiture of Sennacherib, and as looking to Hezekiah to inaugurate it. According to this view, Hezekiah, renovated in character, was to be the Messiah, and might have been so had he been "equal to the demands providentially made upon him." But he was not; and the task of establishing

FOR THE VILE PERSON WILL SPEAK VILLAINY,.... Or, "a fool will utter folly" g; a man that has no understanding of Gospel truths himself can not deliver them to others; he will only speak foolish things, concerning the purity of human nature, the power of man's free will, the sufficiency of his own righteousness to justify him, and the merits of good works, and the like; and therefore such a man is a very improper one to be a guide and governor in the church of God: AND HIS HEART WILL WORK INIQUITY; forge and devise it within himself; will form schemes of false doctrine, discipline, and worship, disagreeable to the word of God: TO PRACTISE HYPOCRISY; to make men believe he is a very devout and religious man, when he has no good thing in him, and to put others upon a profession of religion that have none; which things are commonly done by foolish and ignorant preachers: AND TO UTTER ERRO...

CHAPTER 32 THE COMING KING AND HIS KINGDOM 1. _The King and His rule (Isaiah 32:1)_ 2. _The careless women addressed (Isaiah 32:9)_ 3. _The judgment of the land and the city (Isaiah 32:13)_ 4. _The hope of the future (Isaiah 32:15)_ The connection with the previous chapter is obvious. In Isaiah 31:4 the coming of the Lord for the deliverance of His people and the punishment of their enemies is predicted. “So shall the Lord of Hosts come down to fight Mount Zion and the hill thereof.” And now in the beginning of chapter 32 th

ISAIAH 32. This chapter is regarded by some scholars as non-Isaianic on the ground of phraseology and ideas, but while it may have been interpolated, it is probably in the main Isaiah's work. It falls into two parts: (_a_) Isaiah 32:1, (_b_) Isaiah 32:9. The date of the former is uncertain. It may belong to the same period as Isaiah 28-31. The address to the women which follows recalls the denunciation in Isaiah 3:16, but it does not necessarily belong to the same period. And it too may belong to the same period as Isaiah 28-31. There is no need to detach the Messianic passage, Isaiah 32:15, from it....

Isaiah 32:1-8. The ideal commonwealth of the Messianic Age This passage, although treated by many expositors as the continuation of ch. 31, bears all the marks of an independent prophecy. Its insertion in the present group of discourses is sufficiently explained by the picture it gives of a reformed upper class, in contrast with the irreligious and unscrupulous nobility against whom the previous Chapter s have been mainly directed. The time of its actual composition cannot be determined with certainty, but it is perhaps most naturally assigned to the close of Isaiah's ministry, when his mind was occupied with the hope of the ideal future. Much has been made of the fact that the figure of the Messianic King (Isaiah 32:1) is less idealised than in the great prophecies of ch....
