Isaiah 32
32
Reign in Righteousness
1Behold, a king will reign in righteousness and princes will rule in justice.
2Each will be like a refuge from the wind and a shelter from the storm, like streams of water in a dry place, like the shade of a massive rock in a weary land.
3Then the eyes of those who see will not be closed, and the ears of those who hear will pay attention.
4The heart of the hasty will understand knowledge, and the tongue of stammerers will speak fluently, clearly.
5No longer will a fool be called noble, or a scoundrel said to be a gentleman.
6For the fool speaks foolishness and his heart works wickedness, to practice ungodliness, and speak error about Adonai, to deprive the hungry of food and withhold drink from the thirsty.
7The scoundrel’s methods are evil— he makes up wicked schemes to destroy the poor with lies, even when the plea of the needy is just.
8But the noble devises noble plans, and for noble causes he stands.
9Rise up, you women at ease, And hear my voice. You complacent daughters, give ear to my words.
10Within a year and a few days you will shudder, complacent ones. For the grape harvest will fail and the gathering will not come.
11Tremble, you women at ease! Shudder, you complacent ones! Strip and make yourselves bare, and put sackcloth on your waist.
12Beat your breasts lamenting for pleasant fields, for fruitful vine,
13for the land of my people, where thorns and briars come up, for all the joyful houses of the jubilant city.
14For the palace will be abandoned; the bustling city will be deserted; the citadel and watchtower will become a wasteland forever, a delight of wild donkeys, a pasture for flocks,
15until the Ruach is poured out on us from on high, and the desert becomes a garden, and a garden seems like a forest.
16Then justice will dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness abide in the garden.
17The result of righteousness will be shalom and the effect of righteousness will be quietness and confidence forever.
18My people will live in a peaceful place, in secure dwellings, quiet resting places.
19Then hail will flatten the forest; and the city will be utterly laid low.
20Blessed are you, sowing by all waters, letting the feet of the ox and the donkey range free.

The Glorious Future
1Behold, a king will reign righteously,
And officials will rule justly.
2Each will be like a refuge from the wind
And a shelter from the storm,
Like #32:2 Lit canalsstreams of water in a dry country,
Like the shade of a #32:2 Lit heavyhuge rock in an exhausted land.
3Then the eyes of those who see will not be #32:3 Or turned awayblinded,
And the ears of those who hear will listen.
4The #32:4 Lit heartmind of the rash will discern the #32:4 Lit knowledgetruth,
And the tongue of the stammerers will hurry to speak clearly.
5No longer will the fool be called noble,
Or the rogue be spoken of as generous.
6For a fool speaks nonsense,
And his heart #32:6 Or doesinclines toward wickedness:
To practice ungodliness and to speak error against the Lord,
To #32:6 Lit make empty the hungry soulkeep the hungry person unsatisfied
And #32:6 Lit he deprives the thirstyto withhold drink from the thirsty.
7As for a rogue, his weapons are evil;
He devises wicked schemes
To destroy the poor with #32:7 Lit words of falsehoodslander,
Even though the needy one speaks #32:7 Lit justlywhat is right.
8But the noble person devises noble plans;
And by noble plans he stands.
9¶Rise up, you women who are at ease,
And hear my voice;
Listen to my word,
You complacent daughters.
10Within a year and a few days
You will be troubled, you complacent daughters;
For the vintage is ended,
And the fruit gathering will not come.
11Tremble, you women who are at ease;
Be troubled, you complacent daughters;
Strip, undress, and put sackcloth on your waist,
12Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine,
13For the land of my people in which thorns and briars will come up;
Indeed, for all the joyful houses and for the jubilant city.
14For the palace has been neglected, the #32:14 Lit multitude of thepopulated city abandoned.
# 32:14 Or Ophel Hill and watch-tower have become caves forever,
A delight for wild donkeys, a pasture for flocks,
15Until the Spirit is poured out upon us from on high,
And the wilderness becomes a fertile field,
And the fertile field is considered as a forest.
16Then justice will dwell in the wilderness,
And righteousness will remain in the fertile field.
17And the work of righteousness will be peace,
And the service of righteousness, quietness and #32:17 Or securityconfidence forever.
18Then my people will live in a peaceful settlement,
In secure dwellings, and in undisturbed resting places;
19And it will hail when the forest comes down,
And the city will be utterly laid low.
20How blessed will you be, you who sow beside all waters,
Who #32:20 Lit send out the foot of the oxlet the ox and the donkey out freely.
