Isaiah:32

* Behold , a king shall reign in righteousness , and princes shall rule in justice . * A man shall be as a hiding place from the wind , and a covert from the storm , as streams of water in a dry place , as the shade of a large rock in a weary land . * The eyes of those who see will not be dim , and the ears of those who hear will listen . * The heart of the rash will understand knowledge , and the tongue of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly . * The fool will no longer be called noble , nor the scoundrel be highly respected . * For the fool will speak folly , and his heart will work iniquity , to practice profanity , and to utter error against Yahweh , To make empty the soul of the hungry , and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail . * The ways of the scoundrel are evil . He devises wicked devices to destroy the humble with lying words , even when the needy speaks right . * But the noble devises noble things ; and he will continue in noble things . * Rise up , you women who are at ease ! Hear my voice ! You careless daughters , give ear to my speech ! * For days beyond a year you will be troubled , you careless women ; for the vintage shall fail . The harvest won 't come . * Tremble , you women who are at ease ! Be troubled , you careless ones ! Strip yourselves , make yourselves naked , and put sackcloth on your waist . * Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields , for the fruitful vine . * Thorns and briars will come up on my people 's land ; yes , on all the houses of joy in the joyous city . * For the palace will be forsaken . The populous city will be deserted . The hill and the watchtower will be for dens forever , a delight for wild donkeys , a pasture of flocks ; * Until the Spirit is poured on us from on high , and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field , and the fruitful field is considered a forest . * Then justice will dwell in the wilderness ; and righteousness will remain in the fruitful field . * The work of righteousness will be peace ; and the effect of righteousness , quietness and confidence forever . * My people will live in a peaceful habitation , in safe dwellings , and in quiet resting places . * Though hail flattens the forest , and the city is leveled completely . * Blessed are you who sow beside all waters , who send out the feet of the ox and the donkey .
