10 Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.
10 In little more than a year you who feel secure will tremble; the grape harvest will fail, and the harvest of fruit will not come.
10 In little more than a year you will shudder, you complacent women; for the grape harvest fails, the fruit harvest will not come.
10 In just a little over a year from now, you'll be shaken out of your lazy lives. The grape harvest will fail, and there'll be no fruit on the trees.
10 In a year and some days You will be troubled, you complacent women; For the vintage will fail, The gathering will not come.
10 In a short time-just a little more than a year- you careless ones will suddenly begin to care. For your fruit crops will fail, and the harvest will never take place.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Isaiah 32:10
Commentary on Isaiah 32:9-20
(Read Isaiah 32:9-20)
When there was so much provocation given to the holy God, bad times might be expected. Alas! how many careless ones there are, who support self-indulgence by shameful niggardliness! We deserve to be deprived of the supports of life, when we make them the food of lusts. Let such tremble and be troubled. Blessed times shall be brought in by the pouring out of the Spirit from on high; then, and not till then, there will be good times. The present state of the Jews shall continue until a more abundant pouring out of the Spirit from on high. Peace and quietness shall be found in the way and work of righteousness. True satisfaction is to be had only in true religion. And real holiness is real happiness now, and shall be perfect happiness, that is, perfect holiness for ever. The good seed of the word shall be sown in all places, and be watered by Divine grace; and laborious, patient labourers shall be sent forth into God's husbandry.
