Isaiah 32

1Behold, a kingH4428 shall reignH4427 in righteousnessH6664, and princesH8269 shall ruleH8323 in judgmentH4941. 2And a manH376 shall beH1961 as a hiding-place from the windH7307, and a covert from the stormH2230; as brooks of waterH4325 in a dryH6724 place, as the shadowH6738 of a great rockH5553 in a thirsty landH776. 3And the eyesH5869 of them that seeH7200 shall not be dim, and the earsH241 of them that hearH8085 shall hearken; 4and the heartH3824 of the rash shall understandH995 knowledge, and the tongueH3956 of the stammerers shall be ready to speakH1696 plainly. 5The vile man shall be no more calledH7121 nobleH5081, nor the churl saidH559 to be bountiful: 6for the vile man will speakH1696 villainy, and his heartH3820 will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against Jehovah, to makeH6213 empty the soulH5315 of the hungryH7457, and to cause the drink of the thirstyH6771 to fail. 7The instrumentsH3627 also of the churl are evilH7451: he deviseth wickedH7451 devices to destroy the meek with lyingH8267 wordsH561, even when the needyH34 speaketh rightH4941. 8But the nobleH5081 deviseth nobleH5081 things; and to nobleH5081 things doth he standH6965. 9RiseH6965 up, ye womenH802 that are at easeH7600, hearH8085 my voiceH6963; ye careless daughtersH1323, giveH238 earH238 unto my speech. 10In a yearH8141 and [some] daysH3117 shall ye be troubled, ye careless women; for the vintage shall failH3615, the ingathering shall not comeH935. 11TrembleH7264, ye women that are at easeH7600; be troubled, ye careless ones; stripH6584 you, and make you bare, and girdH2296 [sackcloth] on your loinsH2504! 12They shall smite on the breastsH7699 [in lamentation] for the pleasant fieldsH7704, for the fruitfulH6509 vineyards. 13Upon the landH127 of my peopleH5971 shall comeH5927 up thistles [and] briars, yea, upon all the housesH1004 of joyH4885 in the joyous city. 14For the palace shall beH1961 deserted, the multitudeH1995 of the cityH5892 shall beH1961 forsaken; hillH6076 and watchtower shall beH1961 cavesH4631 for everH5769, a joyH4885 of wildH6501 asses, a pastureH4829 of flocksH5739; 15until the SpiritH7307 beH1961 pouredH6168 upon us from on highH4791, and the wildernessH4057 becomeH1961 a fruitful field, and the fruitful field beH1961 counted for a forestH3293. 16And judgmentH4941 shall inhabitH3427 the wildernessH4057, and righteousnessH6666 dwellH3427 in the fruitful field. 17And the workH4639 of righteousnessH6666 shall beH1961 peaceH7965; and the effect of righteousnessH6666, quietnessH8252 and assurance for everH5769. 18And my peopleH5971 shall dwellH3427 in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellingsH4908, and in quiet resting-places. 19And it shall hail, comingH3381 downH3381 on the forestH3293; and the cityH5892 shall be lowH8213 in a lowH8213 place. 20Blessed are ye that sowH2232 beside all watersH4325, that sendH7971 forthH7971 the feetH7272 of the oxH7794 and the ass.
