Isaiah 32 :: New English Translation (NET)

The Glorious Future

Isa 32:1Look, a king will promote fairness; officials will promote justice.

Isa 32:2Each of them will be like a shelter from the wind and a refuge from a rainstorm; like streams of water in a dry region and like the shade of a large cliff in a parched land.

Isa 32:3

Isa 32:3Eyes will no longer be blind and ears will be attentive.

Isa 32:4

Isa 32:4The mind that acts rashly will possess discernment and the tongue that stutters will speak with ease and clarity.

Isa 32:5

Isa 32:5A fool will no longer be called honorable; a deceiver will no longer be called principled.

Isa 32:6

Isa 32:6For a fool speaks disgraceful things; his mind plans out sinful deeds. He commits godless deeds and says misleading things about the LORD; he gives the hungry nothing to satisfy their appetite and gives the thirsty nothing to drink.

Isa 32:7

Isa 32:7A deceiver's methods are evil; he dreams up evil plans to ruin the poor with lies, even when the needy are in the right.

Isa 32:8

Isa 32:8An honorable man makes honorable plans; his honorable character gives him security.

Isa 32:9

Isa 32:9You complacent women, get up and listen to me! You carefree daughters, pay attention to what I say!

Isa 32:10

Isa 32:10In a year's time you carefree ones will shake with fear, for the grape harvest will fail, and the fruit harvest will not arrive.

Isa 32:11

Isa 32:11Tremble, you complacent ones! Shake with fear, you carefree ones! Strip off your clothes and expose yourselves - put sackcloth on your waist!

Isa 32:12

Isa 32:12Mourn over the field, over the delightful fields and the fruitful vine!

Isa 32:13

Isa 32:13Mourn over the land of my people, which is overgrown with thorns and briers, and over all the once-happy houses in the city filled with revelry.

Isa 32:14

Isa 32:14For the fortress is neglected; the once-crowded city is abandoned. Hill and watchtower are permanently uninhabited. Wild donkeys love to go there, and flocks graze there.

Isa 32:15

Isa 32:15This desolation will continue until new life is poured out on us from heaven. Then the desert will become an orchard and the orchard will be considered a forest.

Isa 32:16

Isa 32:16Justice will settle down in the desert and fairness will live in the orchard.

Isa 32:17

Isa 32:17Fairness will produce peace and result in lasting security.

Isa 32:18

Isa 32:18My people will live in peaceful settlements, in secure homes, and in safe, quiet places.

Isa 32:19

Isa 32:19Even if the forest is destroyed and the city is annihilated,

Isa 32:20

Isa 32:20you will be blessed, you who plant seed by all the banks of the streams, you who let your ox and donkey graze.
