Isaiah 32

1 Behold, a king reigns for righteousness, As for princes, they rule for judgment.

There! for righteousness he will reign a king and to rulers for justice they will rule.

2 And each has been as a hiding place [from] wind, And as a secret hiding place [from] inundation, As streams of waters in a dry place, As a shadow of a heavy rock in a weary land.

And he will be each like a hiding place of a wind and a shelter of a rainstorm like streams of water in a dry land like [the] shadow of a rock heavy in a land weary.

3 And the eyes of beholders are not dazzled, And the ears of hearers attend.

And not they will gaze [the] eyes of [those who] see and [the] ears of [those who] hear they will pay attention.

4 And the heart of those hurried understands to know, And the tongue of stammerers hurries to speak clearly.

And [the] heart of hasty [people] it will understand knowledge and [the] tongue of stammerers it will hasten to speak clearly.

5 A fool is no more called “noble,” And to a miser it is not said, “rich”;

Not it will be called again to a fool noble and of a scoundrel not it will be said eminent person.

6 For a fool speaks folly, And his heart does iniquity, to do profanity, And to speak error concerning YHWH, To empty the soul of the hungry, Indeed, he causes the thirsty to lack [their] drink.

For a fool folly he speaks and heart his it does wickedness by doing godlessness and by speaking concerning Yahweh error by keeping empty [the] appetite of [the] hungry and drink [the] thirsty he deprives.

7 And the miser—his instruments [are] evil, He has counseled wicked schemes, To corrupt the poor with lying sayings, Even when the needy speaks justly.

And a scoundrel weapons his [are] evil he evil purposes he plans to ruin (afflicted [people] *Q(K)*) with words of falsehood and when speaks [the] needy justice.

8 And the noble counseled noble things, And he rises up for noble things.

And a noble [person] noble deeds he plans and he on noble deeds he stands.

9 Women, easy ones, rise, hear my voice, Daughters, confident ones, give ear [to] my saying,

O women carefree arise hear voice my O daughters confident give ear to utterance my.

10 In days and a year You are troubled, O confident ones, For harvest has been consumed, The gathering does not come.

Days with a year you will be agitated O confident [women] for it will fail [the] grape harvest [the] gathering not it will come.

11 Tremble, you women, you easy ones, Be troubled, you confident ones, Strip and make bare, with a girdle on the loins,

Tremble O carefree [women] be agitated O confident [women] strip off and strip yourself and gird on loins.

12 They are lamenting for breasts, For fields of desire, for the fruitful vine.

On breasts mourning on fields of delight on vine[s] fruitful.

13 Over the ground of my people thorn [and] brier go up, Surely over all houses of joy of the exulting city,

On [the] land of people my thornbush[es] thorn[s] it will grow up for on all [the] houses of joy a town jubilant.

14 The palace has been left, The multitude of the city forsaken, Fort and watchtower have been for dens for all time, A joy of wild donkeys—a pasture of herds;

For [the] palace it will be forsaken [the] tumult of [the] city it will be abandoned [the] hill and [the] watchtower it will become behind caves until perpetuity a joy of wild donkeys a pasture of flocks.

15 Until the Spirit is emptied out on us from on high, And a wilderness has become a fruitful field, And the fruitful field is reckoned for a forest.

Until it will be poured out on us spirit from a high place and it will become [the] wilderness orchard (and the orchard *Q(K)*) to forest it will be considered.

16 And judgment has dwelt in the wilderness, And righteousness remains in the fruitful field.

And it will dwell in the wilderness justice and righteousness in the orchard it will remain.

17 And a work of the righteousness has been peace, And a service of the righteousness—Keeping quiet and confidence for all time.

And it will be [the] work of righteousness peace and [the] labor of righteousness [will be] quietness and security until perpetuity.

18 And My people have dwelt in a peaceful habitation, And in steadfast dwelling places, And in quiet resting places.

And it will dwell people my in a habitation of peace and in dwelling places of security and in resting places undisturbed.

19 And it has hailed in the going down of the forest, And the city is low in the valley.

And it will hail when comes down the forest and with lowness it will become low the city.

20 Blessed [are] you sowing by all waters, Sending forth the foot of the ox and the donkey!

How blessed [are]! you O [those who] sow at every water O [those who] let loose [the] foot of the ox and the donkey.
