Isaiah 32:1-8

1Behold, a 1king will reign righteously And princes will rule justly.2Each will be like a 2refuge from the wind And a shelter from the storm, Like 34streams of water in a dry country, Like the 5shade of a 6huge rock in 7a parched land.3Then 8the eyes of those who see will not be 9blinded, And the ears of those who hear will listen.4The 10mind of the 11hasty will discern the 12truth, And the tongue of the stammerers will hasten to speak clearly.5No longer will the 13fool be called noble, Or the rogue be spoken of as generous.6For a fool speaks nonsense, And his heart 1415inclines toward wickedness: To practice 16ungodliness and to speak error against the Lord, To 1718keep the hungry person unsatisfied And 19to withhold drink from the thirsty.7As for a rogue, his weapons are evil; He 20devises wicked schemes To 21destroy the afflicted with 22slander, 23Even though the needy one speaks 24what is right.8But 25the noble man devises noble plans; And by noble plans he stands.
