Contextual Overview

⁹ Listen, you women who lie around in ease. Listen to me, you who are so smug. ¹⁰ In a short time—just a little more than a year— you careless ones will suddenly begin to care. For your fruit crops will fail, and the harvest will never take place. ¹¹ Tremble, you women of ease; throw off your complacency. Strip off your pretty clothes, and put on burlap to show your grief. ¹² Beat your breasts in sorrow for your bountiful farms and your fruitful grapevines. ¹³ For your land will be overgrown with thorns and briers. Your joyful homes and happy towns will be gone. ¹⁴ The palace and the city will be deserted, and busy towns will be empty. Wild donkeys will frolic and flocks will graze in the empty forts and watchtowers ¹⁵ until at last the Spirit is poured out on us from heaven. Then the wilderness will become a fertile field, and the fertile field will yield bountiful crops. ¹⁶ Justice will rule in the wilderness and righteousness in the fertile field. ¹⁷ And this righteousness will bring peace. Yes, it will bring quietness and confidence forever. ¹⁸ My people will live in safety, quietly at home. They will be at rest.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation,.... Jews and Gentiles, and all the saints, shall dwell in peace and love one with another, and shall be free from all the outrages and persecutions of the enemy; which, when these happy times of the pouring forth of the Spirit and of the spiritual reign of Christ come, will be no more:

and in sure dwellings; where they may dwell safely and confidently, secure from all enemies, in no fear of them, and free from all hurt and danger by them:

and in quiet resting places; where they may sleep and rest quietly, and none to disturb them, and make them afraid: and though all this may be understood of their private houses and habitations, yet may well enough be applied to the several Christian communities and churches to which they belong; where they shall enjoy much spiritual prosperity and safety, great peace and quietness, comfort and rest, under the ministry of the word, and administration of ordinances.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation - In cities and towns that would not be alarmed bv internal or external foes.

And in sure dwellings - In dwellings that would be secure from invasion. - All this is descriptive of the peaceful times, and the general security which followed the return from Babylon. To this period of happiness and prosperity, Isaiah, as well as the other prophets, often refers.
