rsv@Isaiah:32:1 @ Behold, a king will reign in righteousness, and princes will rule in justice.

rsv@Isaiah:32:2 @ 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.

rsv@Isaiah:32:3 @ Then the eyes of those who see will not be closed, and the ears of those who hear will hearken.

rsv@Isaiah:32:4 @ The mind of the rash will have good judgment, and the tongue of the stammerers will speak readily and distinctly.

rsv@Isaiah:32:5 @ The fool will no more be called noble, nor the knave said to be honorable.

rsv@Isaiah:32:6 @ 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.

rsv@Isaiah:32:7 @ 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.

rsv@Isaiah:32:8 @ But he who is noble devises noble things, and by noble things he stands.

rsv@Isaiah:32:9 @ Rise up, you women who are at ease, hear my voice; you complacent daughters, give ear to my speech.

rsv@Isaiah:32:10 @ In little more than a year you will shudder, you complacent women; for the vintage will fail, the fruit harvest will not come.

rsv@Isaiah:32:11 @ Tremble, you women who are at ease, shudder, you complacent ones; strip, and make yourselves bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins.

rsv@Isaiah:32:12 @ Beat upon your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine,

rsv@Isaiah:32:13 @ for the soil of my people growing up in thorns and briers; yea, for all the joyous houses in the joyful city.

rsv@Isaiah:32:14 @ 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;

rsv@Isaiah:32:15 @ 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.

rsv@Isaiah:32:16 @ Then justice will dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness abide in the fruitful field.

rsv@Isaiah:32:17 @ And the effect of righteousness will be peace, and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust for ever.

rsv@Isaiah:32:18 @ My people will abide in a peaceful habitation, in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places.

rsv@Isaiah:32:19 @ And the forest will utterly go down, and the city will be utterly laid low.

rsv@Isaiah:32:20 @ Happy are you who sow beside all waters, who let the feet of the ox and the ass range free.
