Isaiah 32 :: Brenton's English Septuagint (BES)

Isa 32:1For, behold, a righteous king shall reign, and princes shall govern with judgment.
Isa 32:2And a man shall hide his words, and be hidden, as from rushing water, and shall appear in Sion as a rushing river, glorious in a thirsty land.
Isa 32:3And they shall no more trust in men, but they shall incline their ears to hear.
Isa 32:4And the heart of the weak ones shall attend to hear, and the stammering tongues shall soon learn to speak peace.
Isa 32:5And they shall no more at all tell a fool to rule, and thy servants shall no more at all say, Be silent.
Isa 32:6For the fool shall speak foolish words, and his heart shall meditate vanities, and to perform lawless deeds and to speak error against the Lord, to scatter hungry souls, and he will cause the thirsty souls to be empty.
Isa 32:7For the counsel of the wicked will devise iniquity, to destroy the poor with unjust words, and [fn]ruin the cause of the poor in judgment.
Isa 32:8But the godly have devised wise measures, and this counsel shall stand.
Isa 32:9Rise up, ye rich women, and hear my voice; [fn]ye confident daughters, hearken to my words.
Isa 32:10Remember for a full year in pain, yet with hope: the vintage has been cut off, it has ceased, it shall by no means come again.
Isa 32:11Be amazed, be pained, ye confident ones: strip you, bare yourselves, gird your loins;
Isa 32:12and beat on your breasts, because of the pleasant field, and the fruit of the vine.
Isa 32:13 As for the land of my people, the thorn and grass shall come upon it, and joy shall be removed from every house.
Isa 32:14 As for the rich city, the houses are deserted; they shall abandon the wealth of the city, and the pleasant houses: and the villages shall be caves for ever, the joy of wild asses, shepherds' pastures;
Isa 32:15until the Spirit shall come upon you from on high, and Chermel shall be desert, and Chermel shall be counted for a forest.
Isa 32:16Then judgment shall abide in the wilderness, and righteousness shall dwell in Carmel.
Isa 32:17And the works of righteousness shall be peace; and righteousness shall ensure rest, and the righteous shall be confident for ever.
Isa 32:18And his people shall inhabit a city of peace, and dwell in it in confidence, and they shall rest with wealth.
Isa 32:19And if the hail should come down, it shall not come upon you; and they that dwell in the forests shall be in confidence, as those in the plain country.
Isa 32:20Blessed are they that sow by every water, where the ox and ass tread.
