Isaiah 32:1-8

1Look, a king will promote fairness; officials will promote justice.

2Each of them will be like a shelter from the wind and a refuge from a rainstorm; like streams of water in a dry region and like the shade of a large cliff in a parched land.

3Eyes will no longer be blind and ears will be attentive.

4The mind that acts rashly will possess discernment and the tongue that stutters will speak with ease and clarity.

5A fool will no longer be called honorable; a deceiver will no longer be called principled.

6For a fool speaks disgraceful things; his mind plans out sinful deeds. He commits godless deeds and says misleading things about the Lord; he gives the hungry nothing to satisfy their appetite and gives the thirsty nothing to drink.

7A deceiver’s methods are evil; he dreams up evil plans to ruin the poor with lies, even when the needy are in the right.

8An honorable man makes honorable plans; his honorable character gives him security.
