Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 32:9-20.


Isaiah 32:19

_ _ Literally, “But it shall hail with coming down of the forest, and in lowness shall the city (Nineveh) be brought low; that is, humbled.” The “hail” is Jehovah’s wrathful visitation (Isaiah 30:30; Isaiah 28:2, Isaiah 28:17). The “forest” is the Assyrian host, dense as the trees of a forest (Isaiah 10:18, Isaiah 10:19, Isaiah 10:33, Isaiah 10:34; Zechariah 11:2).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 32:9-20.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 32:19

It shall hail — As my blessings shall be poured down upon my people, who, from a wilderness, are turned into a fruitful field, so my judgments (which are signified by hail, Isaiah 28:2, Isaiah 28:17, and elsewhere) shall fall upon them, who were a fruitful field, but are turned into a forest, upon the unbelieving and rebellious Jews. The city — Jerusalem, which, though now it was the seat of God's worship and people, yet he foresaw, would be the great enemy of the Messiah. Low — Heb. shall be humbled with humiliation: shall be greatly humbled, or brought very low.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 32:19

When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the (m) city shall be low in a low place.

(m) They will not need to build it in high places for fear of the enemy: for God will defend it, and turn away the storms from hurting their conveniences.
