Context of Isaiah 32:3
1Look! A king is coming who will rule in a right and fair way. Honest leaders will rule under his authority. 2Each leader will be like a safe place to hide from strong winds and storms. He will be like streams of water in a desert. And he will be like the shadow of a great rock in a hot, dry land. At that time, everyone who has eyes will be able to see clearly. Everyone who has ears will be able to listen well. 4People who do things too quickly will stop and think first. Those who cannot speak well will be able to talk clearly. 5Nobody will praise a stupid person. Nobody will respect people who cheat others.
