ISAIAH ยท Chapter 32
32:1 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall
rule in judgment.
32:2 And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert
from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a
great rock in a weary land.
32:3 And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of
them that hear shall hearken.
32:4 The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the
tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
32:5 The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl
said to be bountiful.
32:6 For the vile person will speak villainy, and his heart will work
iniquity, to practice hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to
make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty
to fail.
32:7 The instruments also of the churl are evil: he devises wicked
devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaks
right.
32:8 But the liberal devises liberal things; and by liberal things
shall he stand.
32:9 Rise up, all of you women that are at ease; hear my voice, all
of you careless daughters; give ear unto my speech.
32:10 Many days and years shall all of you be troubled, all of you
careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.
32:11 Tremble, all of you women that are at ease; be troubled, all
of you careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth
upon your loins.
32:12 They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields, for
the fruitful vine.
32:13 Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea,
upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city:
32:14 Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the city
shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of
wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
32:15 Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness
be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.
32:16 Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness
remain in the fruitful field.
32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect
of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
32:18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure
dwellings, and in quiet resting places;
32:19 When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall
be low in a low place.
32:20 Blessed are all of you that sow beside all waters, that send
forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass.
