Isaiah  


32 : 1 Behold,a king will reign in righteousness,and princes will rule in justice.
32 : 2 Each will be like a hiding place from the wind,a shelter from the storm,like streams of water in a dry place,like the shade of a great rock in a weary land.
32 : 3 Then the eyes of those who see will not be closed,and the ears of those who hear will give attention.
32 : 4 The heart of the hasty will understand and know,and the tongue of the stammerers will hasten to speak distinctly.
32 : 5 The fool will no more be called noble,nor the scoundrel said to be honorable.
32 : 6 Forthe fool speaks folly,and his heart is busy with iniquity,to practice ungodliness,to utter error concerning theLord,to leave the craving of the hungry unsatisfied,and to deprive the thirsty of drink.
32 : 7 As for the scoundrel&emdash;his devices are evil;he plans wicked schemesto ruin the poor with lying words,even when the plea of the needy is right.
32 : 8 But he who is noble plans noble things,and on noble things he stands.
32 : 9 Rise up, you womenwho are at ease, hear my voice;you complacent daughters, give ear to my speech.
32 : 10 In little more than a yearyou will shudder, you complacent women;for the grape harvest fails,the fruit harvest will not come.
32 : 11 Tremble, you womenwho are at ease,shudder, you complacent ones;strip, and make yourselves bare,and tie sackcloth around your waist.
32 : 12 Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields,for the fruitful vine,
32 : 13 for the soil of my peoplegrowing up in thorns and briers,yes, for all the joyous housesin the exultant city.
32 : 14 For the palace is forsaken,the populous city deserted;the hill and the watchtowerwill become dens forever,a joy of wild donkeys,a pasture of flocks;
32 : 15 untilthe Spirit is poured upon us from on high,andthe wilderness becomes a fruitful field,and the fruitful field is deemed a forest.
32 : 16 Then justice will dwell in the wilderness,and righteousness abide in the fruitful field.
32 : 17 And the effect of righteousness will be peace,and the result of righteousness, quietness and trustforever.
32 : 18 My people will abide in a peaceful habitation,in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places.
32 : 19 And it will hail when the forest falls down,and the city will be utterly laid low.
32 : 20 Happy are you who sow beside all waters,who let the feet of the ox and the donkey range free.
