Bible Commentary

Isaiah 32:9

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Rise up. The "careless daughters" are sitting, or reclining upon couches, at their ease. The prophet bids them stand up, to hear a message from God (comp. 3:10). Ye women that are at ease; i.e. "that are self-satisfied and self-complacent."

The word employed has almost always a bad sense (see 2 Kings 19:28; Job 12:5; Psalms 123:4; Amos 6:1; Zechariah 1:15). Hear my voice. This clause should be attached to the first half of the verse. The order of the words in the original is, "Ye women that are at ease, rise up and hear my words; ye careless daughters, hearken unto my speech."
