Behold, a king will reign in righteousness, and princes will rule in justice. |
2
|
Each will be like a hiding place from the wind, a covert from the tempest, like streams of water in a dry place, like the shade of a great rock in a weary land. |
3
|
Then the eyes of those who see will not be closed, and the ears of those who hear will hearken. |
4
|
The mind of the rash will have good judgment, and the tongue of the stammerers will speak readily and distinctly. |
5
|
The fool will no more be called noble, nor the knave said to be honorable. |
6
|
For the fool speaks folly, 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. |
7
|
The knaveries of the knave are evil; he devises wicked devices to ruin the poor with lying words, even when the plea of the needy is right. |
8
|
But he who is noble devises noble things, and by noble things he stands. |
9
|
Rise up, you women who are at ease, hear my voice; you complacent daughters, give ear to my speech. |
10
|
In little more than a year you will shudder, you complacent women; for the vintage will fail, the fruit harvest will not come. |
11
|
Tremble, you women who are at ease, shudder, you complacent ones; strip, and make yourselves bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins. |
12
|
Beat upon your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine, |
13
|
for the soil of my people growing up in thorns and briers; yea, for all the joyous houses in the joyful city. |
14
|
For the palace will be forsaken, the populous city deserted; the hill and the watchtower will become dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks; |
15
|
until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is deemed a forest. |
16
|
Then justice will dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness abide in the fruitful field. |
17
|
And the effect of righteousness will be peace, and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust for ever. |
18
|
My people will abide in a peaceful habitation, in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places. |
19
|
And the forest will utterly go down, and the city will be utterly laid low. |
20
|
Happy are you who sow beside all waters, who let the feet of the ox and the ass range free. |
