nasb - 27

nasb@Isaiah:27:1 @Behold, a king will reign righteously And princes will rule justly.

nasb@Isaiah:27:2 @Each will be like a refuge from the wind And a shelter from the storm, Like streams of water in a dry country, Like the shade of a huge rock in a parched land.

nasb@Isaiah:27:3 @Then the eyes of those who see will not be blinded, And the ears of those who hear will listen.

nasb@Isaiah:27:4 @The mind of the hasty will discern the truth, And the tongue of the stammerers will hasten to speak clearly.

nasb@Isaiah:27:5 @No longer will the fool be called noble, Or the rogue be spoken of as generous.

nasb@Isaiah:27:6 @For a fool speaks nonsense, And his heart inclines toward wickedness- To practice ungodliness and to speak error against the LORD, To keep the hungry person unsatisfied And to withhold drink from the thirsty.

nasb@Isaiah:27:7 @As for a rogue, his weapons are evil; He devises wicked schemes To destroy the afflicted with slander, Even though the needy one speaks what is right.

nasb@Isaiah:27:8 @But the noble man devises noble plans; And by noble plans he stands.

nasb@Isaiah:27:9 @Rise up, you women who are at ease, And hear my voice; Give ear to my word, You complacent daughters.

nasb@Isaiah:27:10 @Within a year and a few days You will be troubled, O complacent daughters; For the vintage is ended, And the fruit gathering will not come.

nasb@Isaiah:27:11 @Tremble, you women who are at ease; Be troubled, you complacent daughters; Strip, undress and put sackcloth on your waist,

nasb@Isaiah:27:12 @Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine,

nasb@Isaiah:27:13 @For the land of my people in which thorns and briars shall come up; Yea, for all the joyful houses and for the jubilant city.

nasb@Isaiah:27:14 @Because the palace has been abandoned, the populated city forsaken. Hill and watch-tower have become caves forever, A delight for wild donkeys, a pasture for flocks;

nasb@Isaiah:27:15 @Until the Spirit is poured out upon us from on high, And the wilderness becomes a fertile field, And the fertile field is considered as a forest.

nasb@Isaiah:27:16 @Then justice will dwell in the wilderness And righteousness will abide in the fertile field.

nasb@Isaiah:27:17 @And the work of righteousness will be peace, And the service of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.

nasb@Isaiah:27:18 @Then my people will live in a peaceful habitation, And in secure dwellings and in undisturbed resting places;

nasb@Isaiah:27:19 @And it will hail when the forest comes down, And the city will be utterly laid low.

nasb@Isaiah:27:20 @How blessed will you be, you who sow beside all waters, Who let out freely the ox and the donkey.
