In the Hebrew text, the word for "rash" can be linked to a sense of recklessness or lack of foresight. Historically, this could be seen as a critique of leaders or individuals who act without seeking divine wisdom. In a spiritual context, it suggests a transformation where impulsive minds are enlightened by God's truth, leading to a deeper understanding and discernment.<p><b>will know and understand</b><br />The Hebrew words for "know" and "understand" imply a deep, intimate comprehension that goes beyond surface-level knowledge. This transformation is a divine promise that those who once acted without wisdom will be granted insight. It reflects the biblical theme of God granting wisdom to those who seek it, as seen in <a href="/proverbs/2-6.htm">Proverbs 2:6</a>, "For the LORD gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding."<p><b>and the stammering tongue</b><br />This phrase highlights those who struggle to communicate effectively, possibly due to fear, lack of confidence, or spiritual oppression. In the historical context, it could refer to those who were marginalized or oppressed, unable to express themselves freely. Spiritually, it signifies the liberation and empowerment that comes from God's intervention, allowing His people to proclaim His truth boldly.<p><b>will speak clearly and fluently</b><br />The transformation from stammering to clear speech symbolizes the power of God to heal and restore. The Hebrew roots suggest a transition from confusion to clarity, from silence to proclamation. This echoes the New Testament promise in <a href="/acts/2-4.htm">Acts 2:4</a>, where the Holy Spirit enables the apostles to speak in different tongues, signifying the spread of the Gospel with clarity and power. It is an assurance that God equips His people to communicate His message effectively, regardless of their previous limitations.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/isaiah/32.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(4) <span class= "bld">The heart also of the rash . . .</span>--"Heart," as in <a href="/proverbs/4-23.htm" title="Keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.">Proverbs 4:23</a> and elsewhere, for the intellect rather than the emotions.
