In Isaiah 32 he's prophesying destruction coming to Israel. And he's talking about a time still in the future. Presumably during the millenium. You can't just pull verses out of context and misapply them. People who show disrespect for God's word also show disrespect for God. Look at more of the passage:
(Isaiah 32:10-20 NIV) In little more than a year you who feel secure will tremble; the grape harvest will fail, and the harvest of fruit will not come. {11} Tremble, you complacent women; shudder, you daughters who feel secure! Strip off your clothes, put sackcloth around your waists. {12} Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vines {13} and for the land of my people, a land overgrown with thorns and briers-- yes, mourn for all houses of merriment and for this city of revelry. {14} The fortress will be abandoned, the noisy city deserted; citadel and watchtower will become a wasteland forever, the delight of donkeys, a pasture for flocks, {15} till the Spirit is poured upon us from on high, and the desert becomes a fertile field, and the fertile field seems like a forest. {16} Justice will dwell in the desert and righteousness live in the fertile field. {17} The fruit of righteousness will be peace; the effect of righteousness will be quietness and confidence forever. {18} My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest. {19} Though hail flattens the forest and the city is leveled completely, {20} how blessed you will be, sowing your seed by every stream, and letting your cattle and donkeys range free.
