Isaiah:32
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Behold , [
one ]
king shall reign in righteousness ,
and princes shall preside unto judgment .
*
And that Man shall be as a hiding place from the wind ,
and a covert from the tempest ;
as rivers of water in a dry [
place ],
as the shadow of a great rock in a hot land .
*
And the eyes of those that see shall not be dim ,
and the ears of those that hear shall hearken .
*
The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge ,
and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly .
*
The vile person shall no longer be called liberal ,
nor the greedy said [
to be ]
bountiful .
*
For the vile person will speak villainy ,
and his heart will invent iniquity to work unrighteousness and to speak scornfully against the LORD ,
leaving the soul of the hungry empty and taking away the drink of the thirsty .
*
Certainly the greedy [
use ]
evil measures :
he devises wicked devices to ensnare the simple with lying words and to speak in judgment [
against ]
the poor .
*
But the liberal devises liberal things ;
and by liberal things shall he rise .
*
Rise up ,
ye women that are at ease ;
hear my voice ,
ye careless daughters ;
give ear unto my speech .
*
Many days and years shall ye be troubled ,
ye careless women :
for the vintage shall fail ,
and the harvest shall not come in .
*
Tremble ,
ye women that are at ease ;
be troubled ,
ye careless ones :
strip you ,
and make yourselves bare ,
and gird [
sackcloth ]
upon [
your ]
loins .
*
Upon their breasts they shall lament for the pleasant fields ,
for the fruitful vine .
*
Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns [
and ]
briers ;
even upon all the houses of joy [
in ]
the joyous city :
*
Because the palaces shall be forsaken ;
the noise of the city shall cease ;
the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever ,
a joy of wild asses ,
a pasture of flocks ;
*
until the spirit is poured upon us from on high ,
and the wilderness is turned into a fruitful field ,
and the fruitful field is counted for a forest .
*
Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness ,
and righteousness shall remain in the fruitful field .
*
And the work of righteousness shall be peace ;
and the effect of righteousness rest and security for ever .
*
And my people shall dwell in a habitation of peace and in secure dwellings and in the refreshing of rest .
*
And the hail ,
when it shall come down , [
shall be ]
in the forest ;
and the city shall be completely laid low .
*
Blessed [
are ]
ye that sow upon all waters ,
ye that plow with the ox and with the ass .:
