Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 32:4

_ _ rash — rather, “the hasty”; contrast “shall not make haste” (Isaiah 28:16); the reckless who will not take time to weigh religious truth aright. Or else, the well-instructed [Horsley].

_ _ stammers — those who speak confusedly on divine things (compare Exodus 4:10-12; Jeremiah 1:6; Matthew 10:19, Matthew 10:20). Or, rather, those drunken scorners who in stammering style imitated Isaiah’s warnings to mock them [Maurer] (Isaiah 28:7-11, Isaiah 28:13, Isaiah 28:14, Isaiah 28:22; Isaiah 29:20); in this view, translate, “speak uprightly” (agreeably to the divine law); not as English Version, referring to the distinctness of articulation, “plainly.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 32:1-8.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 32:4

The rash — Who were hasty in judging of things; which is an argument of ignorance and folly. The tongue — That used to speak of the things of God, darkly, and doubtfully; which though it was in part fulfilled in Hezekiah, yet was truly and fully accomplished only by Christ, who wrought this wonderful change in an innumerable company both of Jews and Gentiles.
