Isaiah 32:1-8

1Behold, a king will reign in righteousness, and princes will rule in justice.

2Each will be like a hiding place from the wind, a shelter from the storm, like streams of water in a dry place, like the shade of a great rock in a weary land.

3Then the eyes of those who see will not be closed, and the ears of those who hear will give attention.

4The heart of the hasty will understand and know, and the tongue of the stammerers will hasten to speak distinctly.

5The fool will no more be called noble, nor the scoundrel said to be honorable.

6For the fool speaks folly, and his heart is busy with iniquity, to practice ungodliness, to utter error concerning the Lord, to leave the craving of the hungry unsatisfied, and to deprive the thirsty of drink.

7As for the scoundrel—his devices are evil; he plans wicked schemes to ruin the poor with lying words, even when the plea of the needy is right.

8But he who is noble plans noble things, and on noble things he stands.
