Isaiah 32

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

Look, a king will reign in righteousness, and princes will rule in justice.

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.

Each one will be like a shelter from the wind and a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in a dry place, like the shade of a great rock in a land of weariness.

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

Then the eyes of those who see will not be dim, and the ears of those who hear will hear attentively.

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

The rash will think carefully with understanding, and the stutterer will speak distinctly and with ease.

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

The fool will no longer be called honorable, nor the deceiver called principled.

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 the fool speaks folly, and his heart plans evil and godless actions, and he speaks wrongly against Yahweh. He makes the hungry empty, and the thirsty he causes to lack 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.

The deceiver's methods are evil. He devises wicked schemes to ruin the poor with lies, even when the poor say what is right.

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

But the honorable man makes honorable plans; and because of his honorable actions he will stand.

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

Rise up, you women who are at ease, and listen to my voice; you carefree daughters, listen to me.

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.

For in a little more than a year your confidence will be broken, you carefree women, for the grape harvest will fail, the ingathering will not come.

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

Tremble, you women who are at ease; be troubled, you confident ones; take off your fine clothes and make yourselves bare; put on sackcloth around your waists.

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

You will wail for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vines.

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.

The land of my people will be overgrown with thorns and briers, even in all the once joyful houses in the city of revelry.

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.

For the palace will be forsaken, the crowded city will be deserted; the hill and the watchtower will become caves forever, a joy of wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks;

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 poured on us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is considered as a forest.

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

Then justice will reside in the wilderness; and righteousness will live 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.

The work of righteousness will be peace; and the result of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.

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

My people will live in a peaceful habitation, in secure homes, and in quiet resting places.

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

But even if it hails and the forest is destroyed, and the city is completely annihilated,

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.

you who sow beside all the streams will be blessed, you who send out your ox and donkey to graze.
