Context of Isaiah 32:11
9Rise up, ye women that are at ease, hear my voice; ye careless daughters, give ear unto my speech. 10In a year and [some] days shall ye be troubled, ye careless women; for the vintage shall fail, the ingathering shall not come. Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones; strip you, and make you bare, and gird [sackcloth] on your loins! 12They shall smite on the breasts [in lamentation] for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vineyards. 13Upon the land of my people shall come up thistles [and] briars, yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 11Gird sackcloth - שק sak, sackcloth, a word necessary to the sense, is here lost, but preserved by the Septuagint, MSS. Alex. and Pachom., and 1. D.

Address to the women of Jerusalem who troubled themselves little about the political signs of the times, but lived a life of self-indulgence (Is 3:16-23); the failure of food through the devastations of the enemy is here foretold, being what was most likely to affect them as mothers of families, heretofore accustomed to every luxury. Vitringa understands "women--daughters" as the cities and villages of Judea (Eze 16:1-63). See Am 6:1.Read the comment
