Context of Isaiah 32:3

1Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment. 2And a man shall be as a hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from the storm; as brooks of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land. And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken; 4and the heart of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly. 5The vile man shall be no more called noble, nor the churl said to be bountiful:
