Context — A Warning to the Complacentgenerated
Isaiah 32:10 warns those who feel secure that they will soon face fear and uncertainty. The prophet Isaiah addresses the complacent women, indicating that their confidence will be shaken due to the failure of the grape and fruit harvests. This serves as a reminder of the consequences of neglecting the warnings of impending judgment, similar to themes found in Isaiah 3:9 and Jeremiah 25:10.

The Key Word — תִּרְגַּ֖זְנָה, tir.Gaz.nahgenerated
The verb תִּרְגַּ֖זְנָה (tir.Gaz.nah) is an imperfect form in the second person feminine plural, indicating that the action is directed at a group of women. It means 'to tremble' or 'to be agitated,' often in response to fear or distress. This word captures the emotional state of those who will soon realize their false sense of security.
The use of this verb emphasizes the suddenness of their fear, contrasting their previous confidence. The root conveys a sense of trembling or shaking, which aligns with the warning of impending judgment.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb תִּרְגַּ֖זְנָה governs the sentence, with several phrases providing context: an adverbial phrase indicating time, a prepositional phrase describing the subjects, and two clauses detailing the consequences of their complacency. The structure emphasizes the impending action of trembling as a response to the harvest failures.
The Hebrew word order places the subject בֹּֽטְח֑וֹת at the end, which highlights their role as the ones who will experience the trembling.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates תִּרְגַּ֖זְנָה as ἐκταράσσεσθε, meaning 'you will be disturbed' or 'you will be shaken.' This choice reflects a similar sense of agitation but may imply a broader emotional disturbance than the Hebrew.
This translation choice indicates a nuanced understanding of the emotional response expected from the complacent women when faced with the reality of their situation.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Isaiah 32:10 warns complacent women that in a little over a year, they will tremble with fear because the grape and fruit harvests will fail. This verse serves as a reminder of the consequences of their overconfidence.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
In this context, being 'secure' refers to a false sense of safety and confidence that leads to complacency, ignoring the impending judgment.
The harvest symbolizes abundance and prosperity, and its failure signifies a loss of security and stability for the people.
The 'secure ones' are likely the women of Jerusalem who feel safe and confident in their circumstances, unaware of the coming judgment.
Trembling signifies fear and anxiety, reflecting the emotional and spiritual turmoil that will come when their security is stripped away.
Reflection Questionsgenerated
- What areas of my life do I feel complacent or overly secure?
- How can I prepare myself for unexpected challenges or changes?
- In what ways can I be more aware of the consequences of my actions?
- How does this warning apply to my understanding of spiritual security?

A truer insight into the language of a poet-prophet would lead to our seeing in it a symbol of the failure of all forms of earthly joy.
Read Charles John Ellicott on Isaiah 32 →CambridgeThe Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges10. Many days and years] The Hebr. reads literally “days beyond a year,” probably a current popular phrase like “year and day.” Both A.V. and R.V. regard the expression as accus. of duration, but the context shews that it fixes the point of time when ease and security give place to anxiety. The meaning is “in little more than a year.” Comp. the less definite note of time in ch. Isaiah 29:1. The feature of the judgment which is emphasised is the failure of the vintage and the fruit harvest (gathering); what follows shews that this is not the result of natural causes, but of a wholesale devastation of the land. The significance of the prediction would depend greatly on the season of the year…

Year
Heb. shanah, meaning “repetition” or “revolution” (Gen. 1:14; 5:3). Among the ancient Egyptians the year consisted of twelve months of thirty days each, with five days added to make it a complete revolution of the earth round the sun. The Jews reckoned the year in two ways, (1) according to a sacred calendar, in which the year began about the time of the vernal equinox, with the month Abib; and (2) according to a civil calendar, in which the year began about the time of the autumnal equinox, with the month Nisan. The month Tisri is now the beginning of the Jewish year.
the highest ordinary division of time. Two years were known to, and apparently used by, the Hebrews. A year of 360 days appears to have been in use in Noah’s time. The year used by the Hebrews from the time of the exodus may: be said to have been then instituted, since a current month, Abib, on the 14th day of which the first Passover was kept, was then made the first month of the year. The essential characteristics of this year can be clearly determined, though we cannot fix those of any single year. It was essentially solar for the offering of productions of the earth, first-fruits, harvest produce and ingathered fruits, was fixed to certain days of the year, two of which were in the periods of great feasts, the third itself a feast reckoned from one of the former days. But it is certain that the months were lunar, each commencing with a new moon. There must therefore have been some…
The Hebrews always had years of twelve months. But at the beginning, as some suppose, they were solar years of twelve months, each month having thirty days, excepting the twelfth, which had thirty-five days. We see, by the enumeration of the days of the deluge, Ge 7:1-8:22, that the original year consisted of three hundred and sixtyfive days. It is supposed that they had an intercalary month at the end of one hundred and twenty years, at which time the beginning of their year would be out of its place full thirty days. Subsequently, however, and throughout the history of the Jews, the year was wholly lunar, having alternately a full month of thirty days, and a defective month of twenty-nine days, thus completing their year in three hundred and fifty-four days. To accommodate this lunar year to the solar year, (365 days, 5 hours, 48…

The position of women in the Hebrew commonwealth contrasts favorably with that which in the present day is assigned to them generally in eastern countries. The most salient point of contrast in the usages of ancient as compared with modern Oriental society was the large amount of liberty enjoyed by women. Instead of being immured in a harem, or appearing in public with the face covered. The wives and maidens of ancient times mingled freely and openly with the other sex in the duties and amenities of ordinary life. Rebekah travelled on a camel with her face unveiled until she came into the presence of her affianced. (Genesis 24:64,65) Jacob saluted Rachel with a kiss in the presence of the shepherds. (Genesis 29:11) Women played no inconsiderable part in public celebrations (

Events were reckoned from harvests (Ge 30:14; Jos 3:15; Jud 15:1; Ru 1:22; 2:23; 1Sa 6:13; 2Sa 21:9; 23:13). The three principal feasts of the Jews corresponded to the three harvest seasons (
Harvest
The season for gathering grain or fruit.

It began with the feast of Passover and ended with Pentecost, thus lasting for seven weeks (Ex. 23:16). The harvest was a season of joy (Ps. 126:1-6; Isa. 9:3).
