Isaiah 32:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 32:5

3 ^aThe eyes of those who see will not be dim,
And the ears of those who hear will listen.

4 Also the heart of the¹ rash will ^aunderstand knowledge,
And the tongue of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly.

5 The foolish person will no longer be called¹ generous,
Nor the miser said to be bountiful;

6 For the foolish person will speak foolishness,
And his heart will work ^ainiquity:
To practice ungodliness,
To utter error against the Lord,
To keep the hungry unsatisfied,
And he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.

7 Also the schemes of the schemer are evil;
He devises wicked plans
To destroy the poor with ^alying words,
Even when the needy speaks justice.

8 But a¹ generous man devises generous things,
And by generosity he shall stand.

Consequences of Complacency

9 Rise up, you women ^awho are at ease,
Hear my voice;
You complacent daughters,
Give ear to my speech.
