The
Glorious Future |
|
|
 |
| Isaiah 32:1 |
|
Behold, a king will reign righteously And princes
will rule justly. |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 32:2 |
|
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. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 32:3 |
|
Then the eyes of those who see will not be blinded,
And the ears of those who hear will listen. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 32:4 |
|
The mind of the hasty will discern the truth,
And the tongue of the stammerers will hasten to speak clearly. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 32:5 |
|
No longer will the fool be called noble, Or
the rogue be spoken of as generous. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 32:6 |
|
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. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 32:7 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 32:8 |
|
But the noble man devises noble plans; And by
noble plans he stands. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 32:9 |
|
Rise up, you women who are at ease, And hear
my voice; Give ear to my word, You complacent daughters. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 32:10 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 32:11 |
|
Tremble, you women who are at ease; Be troubled,
you complacent daughters; Strip, undress and put sackcloth on your waist, |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 32:12 |
|
Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for
the fruitful vine, |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 32:13 |
|
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.
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 32:14 |
|
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; |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 32:15 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 32:16 |
|
Then justice will dwell in the wilderness And
righteousness will abide in the fertile field. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 32:17 |
|
And the work of righteousness will be peace,
And the service of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 32:18 |
|
Then my people will live in a peaceful habitation,
And in secure dwellings and in undisturbed resting places; |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 32:19 |
|
And it will hail when the forest comes down,
And the city will be utterly laid low. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 32:20 |
|
How blessed will you be, you who sow beside
all waters, Who let out freely the ox and the donkey. |
