Isaiah 32
1
Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness,
2
A man shall be as a hiding place from the wind,
3
The eyes of those who see will not be dim,
4
The heart of the rash will understand knowledge,
5
The fool will no longer be called noble,
6
For the fool will speak folly,
7
The ways of the scoundrel are evil.
8
But the noble devises noble things,
9
Rise up, you women who are at ease! Hear my voice!
10
For days beyond a year you will be troubled, you careless women;
11
Tremble, you women who are at ease!
12
Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields,
13
Thorns and briers will come up on my people’s land;
14
For the palace will be forsaken.
15
until the Spirit is poured on us from on high,
16
Then justice will dwell in the wilderness;
17
The work of righteousness will be peace,
18
My people will live in a peaceful habitation,
19
though hail flattens the forest,
20
Blessed are you who sow beside all waters,
