Shall come up thorns and briers "The thorn and the brier shall come up" - All the ancient Versions read veshamir , with the conjunction. And an ancient MS. has taaleh bo , "shall come up in it, "which seems to be right; or rather bah : and there is a rasure in the place of bo in another ancient MS.
Yea, upon all the houses of joy - For ki , the ancient Versions, except the Vulgate, seem to have read ve . ki may perhaps be a mistake for bo , or bah , in it, above mentioned. It is not necessary in this place.
The description of impending distress which begins at Isaiah 32:13 belongs to other times than that of Sennacherib' s invasion, from which they were so soon delivered. It must at least extend to the ruin of the country and city by the Chaldeans. And the promise of blessings which follows was not fulfilled under the Mosaic dispensation; they belong to the Kingdom of Messiah. Compare Isaiah 32:15 with Isaiah 29:17 (note), and see the note there.
