Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 32:13

Theological / Devotional

Thorns and briers. A symbol of desolation (see on ch. 7:23-25).

Houses of joy. The stately villas where the wealthy gathered for their banquets and drunken revelries. The prediction of v. 13 was partially fulfilled at the time of Sennacherib’s invasion, more fully so when Nebuchadnezzar laid the country waste, and still later when the Romans devastated the land.
