4 The fearful heart will know and understand, and the stammering tongue will be fluent and clear.
4 The heart also of the rash
4 The heart of the hasty will understand and know, and the tongue of the stammerers will hasten to speak distinctly.
4 The impulsive will make sound decisions, the tongue-tied will speak with eloquence.
4 Also the heart of the rash will understand knowledge, And the tongue of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly.
4 Even the hotheads will be full of sense and understanding. Those who stammer will speak out plainly.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Isaiah 32:4
Commentary on Isaiah 32:1-8
(Read Isaiah 32:1-8)
Christ our righteous King, and his true disciples, are evidently here intended. The consolations and graces of his Spirit are as rivers of water in this dry land; and as the overhanging rock affords refreshing shade and shelter to the weary traveller in the desert, so his power, truth, and love, yield the believer the only real protection and refreshment in the weary land through which he journeys to heaven. Christ bore the storm himself, to keep it off from us. To him let the trembling sinner flee for refuge; for he alone can protect and refresh us in every trial. See what pains sinners take in sin; they labour at it, their hearts are intent upon it, and with art they work iniquity; but this is our comfort, that they can do no more mischief than God permits. Let us seek to have our hearts more freed from selfishness. The liberal soul devises liberal things concerning God, and desires that He will grant wisdom and prudence, the comforts of his presence, the influence of his Spirit, and in due time the enjoyment of his glory.
