Isaiah 32:2-4 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

And a man Either the man or king spoken of, or each of his princes, shall be a hiding-place A protection to the people under their government, especially to such as are oppressed or injured by those that are more powerful than they; from the wind From the rage and violence of evil men. As rivers of water in a dry place Not less refreshing and acceptable shall this king and his princes be to their subjects. And as the shadow of a great rock In a dry and scorched country, which is called weary, because it makes travellers weary; as death is called pale in other authors, because it makes men's faces pale. And the eyes of them that see Of the people, who shall not shut their eyes and ears against the good counsels and examples of their religious king and rulers, as they have done formerly; both princes and people shall be reformed. The heart also of the rash Who were hasty in judging of things; which is an argument of ignorance and folly; shall understand knowledge Shall become more knowing and considerate in their judgments and actions. And the tongue of the stammerers Who used to speak of the things of God darkly, doubtfully, and unwillingly; shall be ready to speak plainly As men's understandings shall be enlightened, so their speech shall be reformed: 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.
