Isaiah 32:9-10

Rise up, ye women— The prophet, to shew the sinners and hypocrites in Zion, (ch. Isaiah 33:14.) that they must not build any false hopes of blessings from God, such as he had just now predicted, while in their state of impenitence,—denounces against them the calamities which, first by the Assyrian, Isaiah 32:9 and then by the Babylonish destruction, Isaiah 32:11 should come upon them. By the women at ease, and careless daughters, are to be understood the cities and villages of Judaea, vainly confident in their present security; and he tells them, that, at a certain period, which he here calls a day beyond a year, the land of Canaan, not by the inclemency of the heavens, but by means of the desolation to be brought upon it by its enemies, should deceive the common hope of its inhabitants, who enjoyed its fruits in plenty, and of the best kind, not for their necessities only, but also for their delights. There is great doubt respecting the phrase which we render many days and years; Vitringa thinks that it signifies two years, for it is literally, שׁנה על ימים iamim al shanah, days above a year; and that it denotes the time of the continuance of the calamity brought upon Judaea by Sennacherib. We may just observe, that the destroying of the vintage is a symbol of taking away all joy. See ch. Isaiah 16:8.
