Isaiah 32

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

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

2 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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

6 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.

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.

7 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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

14 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.

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;

15 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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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