The Righteous Kingdom Announced
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:1 -

Indeed, a king will reign righteously,

and rulers will rule justly.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:2 -

Each will be like a shelter from the wind,

a refuge from the rain,

like flowing streams in a dry land

and the shade of a massive rock in an arid land.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:3 -

Then the eyes of those who see will not be closed,

and the ears of those who hear will listen.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:4 -

The reckless mind will gain knowledge,

and the stammering tongue will speak clearly and fluently.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:5 -

A fool will no longer be called a noble,

nor a scoundrel said to be important.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:6 -

For a fool speaks foolishness

and his mind plots iniquity.

He lives in a godless way

and speaks falsely about the LORD.

He leaves the hungry empty

and deprives the thirsty of drink.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:7 -

The scoundrel’s weapons are destructive;

he hatches plots to destroy the needy with lies,

even when the poor person says what is right.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:8 -

But a noble person plans noble things;

he stands up for noble causes.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:9 -

Stand up, you complacent women;

listen to me.

Pay attention to what I say,

you overconfident daughters.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:10 -

In a little more than a year

you overconfident ones will shudder,

for the grapes will fail

and the harvest will not come.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:11 -

Shudder, you complacent ones;

tremble, you overconfident ones!

Strip yourselves bare

and put sackcloth around your waists.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:12 -

Beat your breasts in mourning

for the delightful fields and the fruitful vines,

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:13 -

for the ground of my people

growing thorns and briers,

indeed, for every joyous house in the jubilant city.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:14 -

For the palace will be deserted,

the busy city abandoned.

The hill and the watchtower will become

barren places forever,

the joy of wild donkeys,

and a pasture for flocks,

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:15 -

until the Spirit[fn] from on high is poured out on us.

Then the desert will become an orchard,

and the orchard will seem like a forest.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:16 -

Then justice will inhabit the wilderness,

and righteousness will dwell in the orchard.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:17 -

The result of righteousness will be peace;

the effect of righteousness

will be quiet confidence forever.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:18 -

Then my people will dwell in a peaceful place,

in safe and secure dwellings.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:19 -

But hail will level the forest,[fn]

and the city will sink into the depths.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:20 -

You will be happy as you sow seed

beside abundant water,

and as you let oxen and donkeys range freely.
