Isaiah 32

The Glorious Future

1BeholdH2005, a 1kingH4428 will reignH4427 righteouslyH6664, And officialsH8269 will ruleH8323 justlyH4941.2EachH376 will be like a 2refugeH4224 from the windH7307 And a shelterH5643 from the stormH2230, Like 34streamsH6388 of waterH4325 in a dryH6724 countryH6724, Like the 5shadeH6738 of a 6hugeH3515 rockH5553 in an exhaustedH5889 landH776.3Then 7the eyesH5869 of those who seeH7200 will not be 8blindedH8173, And the earsH241 of those who hearH8085 will listenH7181.4The 9mindH3824 of the 10rashH4116 will discernH995 the 11truthH1847, And the tongueH3956 of the stammerersH5926 will hurryH4116 to speakH1696 clearlyH6703.5NoH3808 longerH5750 will the 12foolH5036 be calledH7121 nobleH5081, Or the rogueH3596 be spokenH559 of as generousH7771.6For a foolH5036 speaksH1696 nonsenseH5039, And his heartH3820 1314inclinesH6213 toward wickednessH205: To practiceH6213 15ungodlinessH2612 and to speakH1696 errorH8442 againstH413 the LordH3068, To 1617keepH7385 the hungryH7457 personH5315 unsatisfiedH7385 And 18to withholdH2637 drinkH4945 from the thirstyH6771.7As for a rogueH3596, his weaponsH3627 are evilH7451; He 19devisesH3289 wickedH2154 schemesH2154 To 20destroyH2254 the poorH6041 with 21slanderH561H8267, 22Even though the needyH34 oneH34 speaksH1696 23whatH4941 isH4941 rightH4941.8But 24the nobleH5081 personH5081 devisesH3289 nobleH5082 plansH5082; And by nobleH5082 plansH5082 he standsH6965.
