Book of Isaiah, Chapter 32
Chapter 32 of Isaiah
and princes will rule in justice.
a covert from the tempest,
like streams of water in a dry place,
like the shade of a great rock in a weary land.
and the ears of those who hear will hearken.
and the tongue of the stammerers will speak readily and distinctly.
nor the knave said to be honorable.
and his mind plots iniquity:
to practice ungodliness,
to utter error concerning the LORD,
to leave the craving of the hungry unsatisfied,
and to deprive the thirsty of drink.
he devises wicked devices
to ruin the poor with lying words,
even when the plea of the needy is right.
and by noble things he stands.
you complacent daughters, give ear to my speech.
you will shudder, you complacent women;
for the vintage will fail,
the fruit harvest will not come.
shudder, you complacent ones;
strip, and make yourselves bare,
and gird sackcloth upon your loins.
for the fruitful vine,
growing up in thorns and briers;
yea, for all the joyous houses
in the joyful city.
the populous city deserted;
the hill and the watchtower
will become dens for ever,
a joy of wild asses,
a pasture of flocks;
and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field,
and the fruitful field is deemed a forest.
and righteousness abide in the fruitful field.
and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust for ever.
in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places.
and the city will be utterly laid low.
who let the feet of the ox and the ass range free.FOOTNOTES
