Isaiah 32:5

Copyright Ó 2016 J. Neely
Isaiah 32:5

5 The vile person [nabal] shall be no more called [qara'] liberal [nadiyb], nor the churl [kiylay] said ['amar] to be bountiful [showa`].   KJV-Interlinear

5 The fool will no more be called noble, nor the scoundrel said to be honorable.  ESV

The vile person, describes a person who is tightfisted, miserly, narrow-minded, covetous, and can generally be described as a fool.

The word for liberal, nadiyb, refers to a person who has a perverted view of right and wrong, a person who is unprincipled, a person who is superficial and impressed with flattery.

Churl, refers to someone who is rude, surly, ill bred, ill mannered, a miserly type of deceiver and a fraud with respect to their personal character and values.

Bountiful, is a reference to the personal character of a person with regard to their honor or integrity, or lack thereof.

This verse describes the end of these types of persons. It describes the end of political correctness, or superficiality, or refusal to call something what it really is.

This applies to the kingdom of God, when Jesus Christ establishes that kingdom at the second advent, and further emphasizes the end of the false and phony characteristics that have come to saturate society as we know it today.

In other words, a lie will be called a lie, the false will be called the false, the dishonorable will be called dishonorable. There will be no more calling something noble, when it really isn’t.





These studies are a part of the massive daily study web site at DailyBibeStudy.Org, and are written, so that you can come to Christ if you have not done so already, and therefore not be lost forever. 

And if you have already believed in Christ, then these studies are written so you can learn and understand and grow in your spiritual life, so that you can come to the full knowledge of Christ, so that you can fulfill your meaning and purpose in life as God intended for you, and so you can qualify for a phenomenal eternal reward which you will have forever. 

To ignore this opportunity to pursue a daily study means you will be incomplete, unfulfilled and you will lose out, big time.

The Daily Bible Study is online, making it possible as never before in all of human history, to advance in ones relationship with God, through Christ, and to complete yourself beyond your imagination.

But you have to decide to make that commitment.  No one else can study for you.  You have to do that yourself.
