Isaiah:32
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Behold ,
a king shall reign in righteousness ,
and princes shall rule in judgment .
*
And a man shall be as an 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 weary land .
*
And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim ,
and the ears of them that hear shall hearken .
*
The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge da #
ath #,
and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly .
*
The vile person shall be no more called liberal ,
nor the churl said to be bountiful .
*
For the vile person will speak villany ,
and his heart will work iniquity ,
to practise hypocrisy ,
and to utter error against the LORD ,
to make empty the soul of the hungry ra #
eb #,
and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail .
*
The instruments also of the churl are evil :
he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor #
with lying words ,
even when the needy speaketh right .
*
But the liberal deviseth liberal things ;
and by liberal things shall he stand .
*
Rise up ,
ye women that are at ease sha #
anan #;
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 ,
the gathering shall not come .
*
Tremble ,
ye women that are at ease sha #
anan #;
be troubled ,
ye careless ones :
strip you ,
and make you bare ,
and gird sackcloth upon your loins .
*
They shall lament for the teats ,
for the pleasant fields ,
for the fruitful vine .
*
Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers ;
yea ,
upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city :
*
Because the palaces shall be forsaken ;
the multitude of the city shall be left ;
the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever ,
a joy of wild asses ,
a pasture of flocks ;
*
Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high ,
and the wilderness be a fruitful field ,
and the fruitful field be counted for a forest ya #
ar #.
*
Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness ,
and righteousness remain in the fruitful field .
*
And the work of righteousness shall be peace ;
and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever .
*
And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation ,
and in sure dwellings ,
and in quiet resting places ;
*
When it shall hail ,
coming down on the forest ya #
ar #;
and the city shall be low in a low place .
*
Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters ,
that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass .
