Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 32:6

_ _ vile ... villainy — rather, “the (irreligious) fool ... (his) folly.”

_ _ will speak — rather, “present”; for (so far is the “fool” from deserving the epithet “noble-minded”) the fool “speaketh” folly and “worketh,” etc.

_ _ hypocrisy — rather, “profligacy” [Horsley].

_ _ error — impiety, perverse arguments.

_ _ hungry — spiritually (Matthew 5:6).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 32:1-8.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 32:6

Villainy — Men shall no longer be miscalled; for every one will discover what he is by his words and actions. Will work — He will, from time to time, be advising wickedness, that he may execute it when he hath opportunity. To practise — To do bad things, tho' with a pretence of religion and justice. To utter — To pass unjust sentence, directly contrary to the command of God. Cause the drink — Whereby they take away the bread and the drink of the poor.
