The term "complacent" suggests a sense of false security and indifference to the spiritual and moral decay around them. In the historical context, this complacency could be linked to the prosperity and peace that led to neglecting God’s commandments. The call to "stand up" is a demand for awakening and repentance, similar to the call in <a href="/amos/6.htm">Amos 6:1</a>, where those at ease in Zion are warned of impending judgment. This reflects a broader biblical theme where God often calls His people to rise from spiritual slumber (<a href="/ephesians/5-14.htm">Ephesians 5:14</a>).<p><b>listen to me.</b><br>The imperative to "listen" emphasizes the importance of heeding prophetic warnings. In the Hebrew tradition, listening is not merely hearing but involves obedience and action. This echoes the Shema in <a href="/deuteronomy/6-4.htm">Deuteronomy 6:4</a>, where Israel is called to hear and obey the Lord. The prophets often served as God’s mouthpiece, and ignoring their message was tantamount to ignoring God Himself. This call to listen is a reminder of the covenant relationship between God and His people, where listening leads to blessing, and ignoring leads to judgment (Deuteronomy 28).<p><b>Give ear to my word,</b><br>The phrase "give ear" is a poetic parallel to "listen," reinforcing the urgency and importance of the message. The "word" here refers to the prophetic message delivered by Isaiah, which is divinely inspired and authoritative. In the biblical context, the Word of God is living and active (<a href="/hebrews/4-12.htm">Hebrews 4:12</a>), and giving ear to it is essential for spiritual discernment and growth. This call to heed the word is consistent with the wisdom literature, such as <a href="/proverbs/4-20.htm">Proverbs 4:20-22</a>, where attending to God’s words brings life and health.<p><b>you overconfident daughters.</b><br>The term "overconfident" highlights a misplaced trust in material wealth or social status rather than in God. In the cultural context of ancient Judah, women often played significant roles in the household and community, and their attitudes could reflect broader societal trends. This overconfidence is a warning against pride and self-reliance, which are condemned throughout Scripture (<a href="/proverbs/16-18.htm">Proverbs 16:18</a>). The reference to "daughters" may also symbolize the people of Jerusalem, as cities are often personified as women in prophetic literature (<a href="/lamentations/1-6.htm">Lamentations 1:6</a>). This serves as a reminder of the need for humility and dependence on God, aligning with the teachings of Jesus, who emphasized the blessedness of the poor in spirit (<a href="/matthew/5-3.htm">Matthew 5:3</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/c/complacent_women.htm">Complacent Women</a></b><br>This refers to the women of Judah who were living in a state of false security and self-satisfaction, unaware of the impending judgment and need for repentance.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/isaiah.htm">Isaiah</a></b><br>The prophet who is delivering God's message.

It might seem at first sight as if we had here a detached utterance of the prophet, accidentally conjoined with the preceding passage (vers. 1-8). But vers. 15-18 furnish a link of connection between the two portions of the chapter, and make it probable that they were delivered at the same time. Mr. Cheyne supposes that the indifference of a knot of women, gathered at some little distance from the men to whom Isaiah had addressed vers. 1-8, provoked the prophet suddenly to turn to them, and speak to them in terms of warning. <span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 9.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Rise up</span>. The "careless daughters" are sitting, or reclining upon couches, at their ease. The prophet bids them stand up, to hear a message from God (comp. <a href="/judges/3-10.htm">Judges 3:10</a>). <span class="cmt_word">Ye women that are at ease</span>; <span class="accented">i.e.</span> "that are self-satisfied and self-complacent."
