Albert Barnes Commentary
"And my people shall abide in a peaceable habitation, and in safe dwellings, and in quiet resting-places." — Isaiah 32:18 (ASV)
And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation - In cities and towns that would not be alarmed by internal or external foes.
And in sure dwellings - In dwellings that would be secure from invasion. All this is descriptive of the peaceful times and the general security that followed the return from Babylon. To this period of happiness and prosperity, Isaiah, as well as the other prophets, often refers.
