A King Will Reign Righteously

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:1 -

Behold, a king will reign righteously

And princes will rule justly.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:2 -

Each will be like a refuge from the wind

And a shelter from the storm,

Like [fn]streams of water in a dry country,

Like the shade of a [fn]huge rock in [fn]a weary land.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:3 -

Then the eyes of those who see will not be [fn]blinded,

And the ears of those who hear will pay attention.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:4 -

And the heart of the hasty will discern knowledge,

And the tongue of the stammerers will hasten to speak clearly.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:5 -

No longer will the wicked fool be called noble,

Or the rogue be spoken of as generous.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:6 -

For a wicked fool speaks wicked folly,

And his heart does wickedness:

To do ungodliness and to speak error against Yahweh,

In order to make the hungry person empty;

He even causes the thirsty to lack a drink.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:7 -

As for a rogue, his weapons are evil;

He counsels wicked schemes

To wreak destruction on the afflicted with lying words,

Even though the needy one speaks justly.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:8 -

But the noble man counsels noble plans;

And by noble plans he rises up.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:9 -

Rise up, you women who are at ease,

And hear my voice;

Give ear to my word,

You complacent daughters.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:10 -

Within a year and a few days

You will quake, O complacent daughters;

For the grape harvest is ended,

And the fruit gathering will not come.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:11 -

Tremble, you women who are at ease;

Quake, you complacent daughters;

Strip, undress, and put sackcloth on your waist,

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:12 -

Beat your breasts for the desirable fields, for the fruitful vine,

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:13 -

For the land of my people in which thorns and briars shall come up,

Indeed, against all the joyful houses and the exultant city.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:14 -

Because the palace has been abandoned, the [fn]populated city forsaken.

[fn]Hill and watchtower have become caves forever,

A joy for wild donkeys, a pasture for flocks,

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:15 -

Until the Spirit is poured out upon us from on high,

And the wilderness becomes a fruitful orchard,

And the fruitful orchard is counted as a forest.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:16 -

Then justice will dwell in the wilderness,

And righteousness will live in the fruitful orchard.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:17 -

And the work of righteousness will be peace,

And the service of righteousness, quietness and security forever.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:18 -

Then my people will live in a peaceful abode,

And in secure dwellings and in undisturbed resting places;

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:19 -

And it will hail when the forest comes down,

And the city will be utterly laid low.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:20 -

How blessed will you be, you who sow beside all waters,

Who [fn]let out freely the ox and the donkey.
