Isaiah 32 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Isa 32:1Lo, for righteousness doth a king reign, As to princes, for judgment they rule.
Isa 32:2And each hath been as a hiding-place from wind, And as a secret hiding-place from inundation, As rivulets of waters in a dry place, As a shadow of a heavy rock in a weary land.
Isa 32:3And not dazzled are the eyes of beholders, And the ears of hearers do attend.
Isa 32:4And the heart of those hastened Understandeth to know, And the tongue of stammerers hasteth to speak clearly.
Isa 32:5A fool is no more called 'noble,' And to a miser it is not said, 'rich;'
Isa 32:6For a fool speaketh folly, And his heart doth iniquity, to do profanity, And to speak concerning Jehovah error, To empty the soul of the hungry, Yea, drink of the thirsty he causeth to lack.
Isa 32:7And the miser -- his instruments are evil, He hath counselled wicked devices, To corrupt the poor with lying sayings, Even when the needy speaketh justly.
Isa 32:8And the noble counselled noble things, And he for noble things riseth up.
Isa 32:9Women, easy ones, rise, hear my voice, Daughters, confident ones, give ear to my saying,
Isa 32:10Days and a year ye are troubled, O confident ones, For consumed hath been harvest, The gathering cometh not.
Isa 32:11Tremble ye women, ye easy ones, Be troubled, ye confident ones, Strip and make bare, with a girdle on the loins,
Isa 32:12For breasts they are lamenting, For fields of desire, for the fruitful vine.
Isa 32:13Over the ground of my people thorn -- brier goeth up, Surely over all houses of joy of the exulting city,
Isa 32:14Surely the palace hath been left, The multitude of the city forsaken, Fort and watch-tower hath been for dens unto the age, A joy of wild asses -- a pasture of herds;
Isa 32:15Till emptied out on us is the Spirit from on high, And a wilderness hath become a fruitful field, And the fruitful field for a forest is reckoned.
Isa 32:16And dwelt in the wilderness hath judgment, And righteousness in the fruitful field remaineth.
Isa 32:17And a work of the righteousness hath been peace, And a service of the righteousness -- Keeping quiet and confidence unto the age.
Isa 32:18And dwelt hath My people in a peaceful habitation, And in stedfast tabernacles, And in quiet resting-places.
Isa 32:19And it hath hailed in the going down of the forest, And in the valley is the city low.
Isa 32:20Happy are ye sowing by all waters, Sending forth the foot of the ox and the ass!
