Isaiah 32:15
Compare all
13 aOn the land of my people will come up thorns and briers,
Yes, on all the happy homes in bthe joyous city; 
14 aBecause the palaces will be forsaken,
The bustling city will be deserted.
The forts and towers will become lairs forever,
A joy of wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks— 
15 Until athe Spirit is poured upon us from on high,
And bthe wilderness becomes a fruitful field,
And the fruitful field is counted as a forest. 

The Peace of God’s Reign

16 Then justice will dwell in the wilderness,
And righteousness remain in the fruitful field.
17 aThe work of righteousness will be peace,
And the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever. 
18 My people will dwell in a peaceful habitation,
In secure dwellings, and in quiet aresting places, 
19 aThough hail comes down bon the forest,
And the city is brought low in humiliation.

Isaiah 32:15

This can only partially apply to the spiritual revival in Hezekiah's time; its full accomplishment belongs to the Christian dispensation, first at Pentecost (Joel 2:28; Acts 2:17), perfectly in coming times (Psalms 104:30; Ezekiel 36:26; Ezekiel 39:29; Zechariah 12:10), when the Spirit shall be poured on Israel, and through it on the Gentiles (Micah 5:7).

wilderness . . . fruitful field . . . forest—when Judea, so long waste, shall be populous and fruitful, and the land of the enemies of God shall be desolate. Or, "the field, now fruitful, shall be but as a barren forest in comparison with what it shall be then" (Isaiah 29:17). The barren shall become fruitful by regeneration; those already regenerate shall bring forth fruits in such abundance that their former life shall seem but as a wilderness where no fruits were.



Isaiah 32:9-20

Address to the women of Jerusalem who troubled themselves little about the political signs of the times, but lived a life of self-indulgence ( 0:0-1:1—daughters" as the cities and villages of Judea (Eze. 16:1-63). See Amos 6:1.
