Isaiah | 32 1Behold, a king will reign in righteousness, 2And each will be like a refuge from the wind like streams of water in a dry place, 3And the eyes of those who see will not be closed, 4and the heart of the rash will understand knowledge, 5The fool will no longer be called noble, 6For the fool speaks folly, in order to do ungodliness to make empty the soul of the hungry 7And the instruments of the villain are evil; to destroy the poor with lying words 8But the noble person makes noble plans, |
The Lord | 9“Women who are at ease, rise up, hear My voice! 10Days beyond a year, carefree ones will quake, because the vintage will fail, 11Tremble, you women who are at ease; strip and gird {sackcloth} upon your waists, over pleasant fields, 13On My people’s soil yea, upon all the exulting houses, the town of revelry, 14because the palaces will be forsaken, The citadel and watchtower will become desolate spaces forever, a joy of wild asses, |
Isaiah | 15Until the Spirit from on high is poured out upon us, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, 16Then justice will reside in the wilderness, 17And the effect of righteousness will be peace, |
The Lord | 18And My people will live in a peaceful habitation, 19And when it hails, coming down on the forest, 20Happy, you who sow beside all waters |
