Wesley's Notes for Isaiah 32:8

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.

32:7 Lying words - With false and unrighteous decrees. Even - When their cause is just and good.

32:9 Ye - That indulge yourselves in idleness and luxury. Careless - Who are insensible of your sin and danger.

32:10 The vintage shall fail - During the time of the Assyrian invasion. The gathering - Of the other fruits of the earth.
