This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Isa 32:1-20. Messiah’s kingdom; Desolations, to be succeeded by lasting peace, the Spirit having been poured out.
The times of purity and happiness which shall follow the defeat of the enemies of Jehovah’s people (Isa 32:1-8). The period of wrath before that happy state (Isa 32:9-14). The assurance of the final prosperity of the Church is repeated (Isa 32:15-20).
king - not Hezekiah, who was already on the throne, whereas a future time is contemplated. If he be meant at all, it can only be as a type of Messiah the King, to whom alone the language is fully applicable (Hos 3:5; Zec 9:9; see on Isa 11:3-5). The kingdom shall be transferred from the world kings, who have exercised their power against God, instead of for God, to the rightful King of kings (Eze 21:27; Dan 7:13, Dan 7:14).
princes - subordinate; referring to all in authority under Christ in the coming kingdom on earth, for example, the apostles, etc. (Luk 22:30; 1Co 6:2; 2Ti 2:12; Rev 2:26, Rev 2:27; Rev 3:21).
