Isaiah 32:1-8

1Behold, a King will reign in righteousness, And princes will rule with justice.

2Each [one of them] will be like a hiding place from the wind And a shelter from the storm, Like streams of water in a dry land, Like the shade of a huge rock in a parched and weary land [to those who turn to them].

3Then the eyes of those who see will not be blinded, And the ears of those who hear will listen attentively.

4The heart (mind) of those who act impulsively will discern the truth, And the tongue of the stammerers will hurry to speak clearly.

5The fool (the good-for-nothing) will no longer be called noble, Nor the rogue said to be generous.

6For the fool speaks nonsense, And his heart (mind) plans wickedness: To practice ungodliness and to speak error concerning the Lord, To keep the craving of the hungry unsatisfied And to deprive the thirsty of drink.

7As for the rogue, his weapons are evil; He conceives wicked plans To ruin the poor with lies, Even when the plea of the needy one is just and right.

8But the noble man conceives noble and magnificent things; And he stands by what is noble and magnificent.
