Teks -- Isaiah 32:2 (NET)

32:2 Each of them will be like a shelter from the wind and a refuge from a rainstorm; like streams of water in a dry region and like the shade of a large cliff in a parched land.

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per frasa)

Wesley: Isa 32:2 - A man

Each of his princes.

Wesley: Isa 32:2 - A hiding place

Unto the people under their government.

Wesley: Isa 32:2 - The wind

From the rage and violence of evil men.

Wesley: Isa 32:2 - As rivers

No less refreshing.

Wesley: Isa 32:2 - As the shadow

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 mens faces pale.

JFB: Isa 32:2 - a man

Rather, the man Christ [LOWTH]; it is as "the Son of man" He is to reign, as it was as Son of man He suffered (Mat 26:64; Joh 5:27; Joh 19:5). Not as MAURER explains, "every one of the princes shall be," &c.

JFB: Isa 32:2 - rivers

As refreshing as water and the cool shade are to the heated traveller (Isa 35:6-7; Isa 41:18).

Clarke: Isa 32:2 - As the shadow of a great rock

As the shadow of a great rock - The shadow of a great projecting rock is the most refreshing that is possible in a hot country, not only as most perfectly excluding the rays of the sun, but also as having in itself a natural coolness, which it reflects and communicates to every thing about it

Speluncaeque tegant, et saxea procubet umbra

Virg. Georg. 3:145

"Let the cool cave and shady rock protect them.

Επει κεφαλην και γουνατα Σειριος αζει

Αυαλεος δε τε χρως απο καυματος· αλ̀»α τοτ ’ ηδ

Ειη πετραιη τε σκιν, και Βιβλινος οινος.

Hesiod. 2:206

"When Sirius rages, and thine aching head

Parched skin, and feeble knees refreshment need

Then to the rock’ s projected shade retire

With Biblin wine recruit thy wasted powers."

Calvin: Isa 32:2 - And that man shall be

2.And that man shall be How great is the importance of well-regulated government the Prophet shews plainly by these words, when he calls that king a hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from the rain; for mankind can never be so happy as when every one voluntarily abstains from every kind of violence and injustice, and when they conduct themselves peaceably and without restraint. Since, therefore, most men are urged and driven by their furious passions to acts of injustice, men would be embroiled in incessant quarreling if a remedy were not provided in the laws and courts of justice; but as many rulers, by a tyrannical exercise of power, raise more troubles than they allay, it is not without good reason that the good king is honored by this peculiar commendation. If this was said with truth concerning Hezekiah, much more may it be said concerning Christ, in whom we have our best, or rather, our only refuge in those storms by which we must be tossed about as long as we dwell in this world. Whenever, therefore, we are scorched by oppressive heat, let us learn to retire under his shadow; whenever we are tossed about by tempests, and think that we are overwhelmed by the violence of the waves, let us learn to betake ourselves to him as our safest harbour; he will speedily bring every storm to a calm, and will completely restore what was ruined and decayed.

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Poole: Isa 32:2 - Shall be as an hiding place // From the wind // As rivers of water in a dry place // In a weary land

A man ; either,

1. The man or king spoken of. Or,

2. Each or every one, to wit, of his princes. That king shall not patch up an old garment with new cloth, nor mingle good and bad together; but shall take care to purge out all the corrupt magistrates, and, as far as he can, to settle good ones in all places. A man is oft put for every or any man , as Isa 2:20 3:5,6 , and elsewhere.

Shall be as an hiding place unto the people under their government, especially to such as are oppressed or injured by those Who are more potent than they.

From the wind from the rage and violence of evil men.

As rivers of water in a dry place no less refreshing and acceptable shall this king and his princes be to their subjects.

In a weary land in a dry and scorched country, which is called weary here, as also Psa 63:1 , metonymically, because it makes travellers weary; as death is called pale in other authors, because it makes men’ s faces pale.

PBC: Isa 32:2

See Philpot: THE WAY-WORN PILGRIM’S HIDING PLACE

Haydock: Isa 32:2 - Land

Land. Ezechias and Josias were both a defence to their subjects.

Gill: Isa 32:2 - And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest // as rivers of water in a dry place // as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land

And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest,.... Or, "that man"; the King Messiah before mentioned; who had agreed to become man, was promised and prophesied of as such, had often appeared in a human form, was to be incarnate, and now is; though he is not a mere man; were he, he could not be what is here said of him, "as a hiding place, and covert from the wind and tempest", of his Father's wrath, raised by sin; and which all men are deserving of, and on whom it must fall, unless secured from it by Christ; who has bore it in the room and stead of his people, has turned it away, and delivered them from it, and all the effects of it, so that nothing of it comes upon them; he has endured the whole force of the storm himself; and his righteousness, blood, sacrifice, and intercession, screen his people from it: he also hides and covers them from Satan's temptations, the blast of the terrible ones, which is as a storm against the wall, so as they shall not be destroyed by them; by praying for them, succouring of them, supplying them with his grace, and delivering from them in his own time: likewise he protects them from the rage and fury of their persecuting enemies, when they come like a "whirlwind" to "scatter" them; they have rest in him, when troubled by men; and security by him, when these winds and waves beat upon them; and when they are tossed with the tempests of afflictions of various kinds, he bears them up under them, and carries them through them, and delivers out of them, and brings them at last safe to glory:

as rivers of water in a dry place; which are very delightful, refreshing, and fructifying. This denotes the abundance of grace in Christ, and the freeness of it, which flows from the boundless ocean of divine love, and which greatly comforts and refreshes the souls of the Lord's people in this dry and barren land, and makes them cheerful and fruitful, revives their spirits, makes glad their hearts, and causes them to go on their way rejoicing:

as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land: to travellers in it, who passing through a desert in hot countries and sultry climates, are glad when they find a rock which casts a shade, under which their can sit a while, sheltered from the scorching sun. Such a weary land is this world to the saints, who are wearied with sins, their own and others, with Satan's temptations, with afflictions and troubles of various sorts; Christ is the "Rock" that is higher than they, to whom they are directed and led when their hearts are overwhelmed within them; on whom not only their souls are built, and their feet are set, and he is a shelter to them; but he casts a shadow, which is very reviving and refreshing, and that is the shadow of his word and ordinances, under which they sit with delight and pleasure, and which makes their travelling through this wilderness comfortable.
