Female Complacency Reproved
Isaiah 32:9
Rise up, you women that are at ease; hear my voice, you careless daughters; give ear to my speech.


Isaiah turns aside abruptly from his main theme. His eye, we may suppose, was arrested by the spectacle of some women, sitting down perhaps at a little distance from where he stood, and testifying their indifference to his words. In chap.

3. it was their vanity and love of display which called forth the prophet's censure: here it is their complacency and unconcern.

(Prof. S. B. Driver, D. D.)
