1Isaiah 32:1Behold, a king will reign righteously And princes will rule justly.
2Isaiah 32:2Each will be like a refuge from the wind And a shelter from the storm, Like streams of water in a dry country, Like the shade of a huge rock in a parched land.
3Isaiah 32:3Then the eyes of those who see will not be blinded, And the ears of those who hear will listen.
4Isaiah 32:4The mind of the hasty will discern the truth, And the tongue of the stammerers will hasten to speak clearly.
5Isaiah 32:5No longer will the fool be called noble, Or the rogue be spoken of as generous.
6Isaiah 32:6For a fool speaks nonsense, And his heart inclines toward wickedness: To practice ungodliness and to speak error against the LORD, To keep the hungry person unsatisfied And to withhold drink from the thirsty.
7Isaiah 32:7As for a rogue, his weapons are evil; He devises wicked schemes To destroy the afflicted with slander, Even though the needy one speaks what is right.
8Isaiah 32:8But the noble man devises noble plans; And by noble plans he stands.
9Isaiah 32:9Rise up, you women who are at ease, And hear my voice; Give ear to my word, You complacent daughters.
10Isaiah 32:10Within a year and a few days You will be troubled, O complacent daughters;For the vintage is ended, And the fruit gathering will not come.
11Isaiah 32:11Tremble, you women who are at ease; Be troubled, you complacent daughters;Strip, undress and put sackcloth on your waist,
12Isaiah 32:12Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine,
13Isaiah 32:13For the land of my people in which thorns and briars shall come up; Yea, for all the joyful houses and for the jubilant city.
14Isaiah 32:14Because the palace has been abandoned, the populated city forsaken. Hill and watch-tower have become caves forever, A delight for wild donkeys, a pasture for flocks;
15Isaiah 32:15Until the Spirit is poured out upon us from on high, And the wilderness becomes a fertile field, And the fertile field is considered as a forest.
16Isaiah 32:16Then justice will dwell in the wilderness And righteousness will abide in the fertile field.
17Isaiah 32:17And the work of righteousness will be peace, And the service of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.
18Isaiah 32:18Then my people will live in a peaceful habitation, And in secure dwellings and in undisturbed resting places;
19Isaiah 32:19And it will hail when the forest comes down, And the city will be utterly laid low.
20Isaiah 32:20How blessed will you be, you who sow beside all waters, Who let out freely the ox and the donkey.
