Gill's Notes on the Bible
Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns [and] briers,.... The curse of the earth, the spontaneous productions of it, being uncultivated, and this through want of men, they being destroyed or carried captive by the enemy; this is to be understood of the land of Judea, and not Samaria, as Aben Ezra; where the professing and covenant people of God dwelt; which is mentioned to show the apostasy of this people, for which ruin came upon their land, and the aggravation of it, as well as the goodness of God to them, which continued to the last, still considering them as his people. This respects not the desolation of the country by the Assyrian army, nor by the Chaldeans, but rather by the Romans, even their last destruction:
yea, upon all the houses of joy [in] the joyous city; not Samaria, the head of the ten tribes, as some; but Jerusalem, the joy of the whole earth, as Jarchi; and the "houses of joy" in it mean not public houses, as taverns, and the like, where persons meet to revel and carouse, but the houses of nobles, princes, and rich men, who lived voluptuously, in great sensuality and carnal mirth, drinking wine in bowls, and chanting to the sound of the viol, and using all instruments of music; but now their houses, in which they enjoyed so much pleasure, should be demolished, and briers and thorns should grow upon the spot where they stood. Some render the word ××, "burning", as in Isaiah 3:24 "burning shall be on all the houses" o, c. and think it refers to the burning of the city of Jerusalem, and the palaces or houses of nobles and rich men in it, which was done both by the Chaldeans and by the Romans.
o Junius & Tremellius, Cocceius.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Upon the land of my people - A description similar to this, in regard to the consequences of the invasion of Sennacherib, is given in Isaiah 7:20-25 (see the notes at that passage).
Yea, upon all the houses of joy - Margin, âBurning upon.â The marginal readling has originated from the supposition that the word ×× kıÌy is derived from ××× kaÌvaÌh, âto be burned.â This conjecture has been adopted by Junius and Tremellius, and by some others. But it is evidently mere conjecture, and is not demanded. The word âyeaâ will express the sense, meaning that desolation, indicated by the growth of thorns and briers, would come upon the cities that were then filled with joy. This does not refer to Jerusalem, which was not taken by Sennacherib, but to the other cities that were destroyed by him in his march, and this account accords with the statement in Isaiah 7:20-25.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Isaiah 32:13. Shall come up thorns and briers - "The thorn and the brier shall come up"] All the ancient Versions read ×ש××ר veshamir, with the conjunction. And an ancient MS. has תע×× ×× taaleh bo, "shall come up in it," which seems to be right; or rather ×× bah: and there is a rasure in the place of ×× bo in another ancient MS.
Yea, upon all the houses of joy — For ×× ki, the ancient Versions, except the Vulgate, seem to have read × ve. ×× ki may perhaps be a mistake for ×× bo, or ×× bah, in it, above mentioned. It is not necessary in this place.
The description of impending distress which begins at Isaiah 32:13 belongs to other times than that of Sennacherib's invasion, from which they were so soon delivered. It must at least extend to the ruin of the country and city by the Chaldeans. And the promise of blessings which follows was not fulfilled under the Mosaic dispensation; they belong to the KINGDOM of Messiah. Compare Isaiah 32:15 with Isaiah 29:17, and see the note there.
