Isaiah 32 :: King James Version (KJV)

Isa 32:1Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.
Isa 32:2And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
Isa 32:3And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken.
Isa 32:4The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
Isa 32:5The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful.
Isa 32:6For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
Isa 32:7The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.
Isa 32:8But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.
Isa 32:9Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech.
Isa 32:10Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.
Isa 32:11Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins.
Isa 32:12They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
Isa 32:13Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city:
Isa 32:14Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
Isa 32:15Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.
Isa 32:16Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.
Isa 32:17And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Isa 32:18And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;
Isa 32:19When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.
Isa 32:20Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass.
