Isaiah 32

Revised Version 1895

1BeholdH2005, a kingH4428 shall reignH4427 in righteousnessH6664, and princesH8269 shall ruleH8323 in judgmentH4941. 2And a manH376 shall be as an hidingH5643 placeH1961 from the windH7307, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of waterH4325 in a dryH6724 placeH1961, as the shadowH6738 of a greatH3515 rockH5553 in a wearyH5889 landH776. 3And the eyesH5869 of them that seeH7200 shall notH3808 be dim, and the earsH241 of them that hearH8085 shall hearken. 4The heartH3824 also of the rash shall understandH995 knowledgeH3045, and the tongueH3956 of the stammerersH5926 shall be ready to speakH1696 plainly. 5The vile person shall be noH3808 moreH5750 calledH7121 liberal, norH3808 the churl saidH559 to be bountiful. 6For the vile personH5315 will speakH1696 villany, and his heartH3820 will work iniquityH205, to practise profaneness, and to utterH1696 errorH8442 againstH413 the LORDH3068, to makeH6213 emptyH2637 the soulH5315 of the hungryH7457, and to cause the drink of the thirstyH6771 to fail. 7The instrumentsH3627 also of the churl are evilH7451: he deviseth wickedH7451 devices to destroy the meek with lyingH8267 wordsH561, evenH34 when the needyH34 speaketh rightH4941. 8But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and in liberal things shall he continueH6965. 9RiseH6965 upH6965, ye womenH802 that are at easeH7600, and hearH8085 my voiceH6963; ye carelessH982 daughtersH1323, giveH238 earH238 unto my speech. 10For daysH3117 beyondH5921 a yearH8141 shall ye be troubledH7264, ye carelessH982 women: for the vintageH1210 shall failH3615, the ingathering shall notH3588 comeH935. 11TrembleH7264, ye women that are at easeH7600; be troubledH7264, ye carelessH982 ones: stripH6584 youH5921, and makeH2729 youH5921 bare, and girdH2296 sackcloth uponH5921 your loinsH2504. 12They shall smite uponH5921 the breastsH7699 for the pleasantH2531 fieldsH7704, for the fruitfulH6509 vineH1612. 13UponH5921 the landH127 of my peopleH5971 shall comeH5927 upH5927 thornsH6975 and briers; yeaH3588, uponH5921 allH3605 the housesH1004 of joyH4885 in the joyous cityH7151: 14For the palaceH759 shall be forsakenH5203; the populous cityH5892 shall be desertedH5800; the hillH6076 and the watch-towerH975 shall be for dens for everH5769, a joyH4885 of wildH6501 asses, a pastureH4829 of flocksH5739; 15untilH5704 the spiritH7307 be pouredH6168 uponH5921 usH5921 from on highH4791, and the wildernessH4057 becomeH1961 a fruitfulH3759 fieldH3759, and the fruitfulH3759 fieldH3759 be countedH2803 for a forestH3293. 16Then judgmentH4941 shall dwellH3427 in the wildernessH4057, and righteousnessH6666 shall abideH3427 in the fruitfulH3759 fieldH3759. 17And the workH4639 of righteousnessH6666 shall be peaceH7965; and the effect of righteousnessH6666 quietnessH8252 and confidenceH983 for everH5769. 18And my peopleH5971 shall abideH3427 in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellingsH4908, and in quietH4496 restingH4496 placesH4908. 19But it shall hailH1258, in the downfall of the forestH3293; and the cityH5892 shall be utterlyH8218 laidH8213 lowH8213. 20BlessedH835 are ye that sowH2232 besideH5921 allH3605 watersH4325, that sendH7971 forthH7971 the feetH7272 of the oxH7794 and the ass.
