Isaiah 32 — The Holy Bible

Isaiah 32, verse 1. The Lord says this: “Blessed is he who has a seed in Zion and kindred in Jerusalem. For behold, a righteous King shall reign, and rulers will govern with judgment. Isaiah 32, verse 2. A Man will hide His words, and be hidden as from flowing water; and He will appear in Zion as a glorious river flowing in a thirsty land. Isaiah 32, verse 3. And they will no longer trust in men, but their ears will incline to listen. Isaiah 32, verse 4. The heart of the sick will pay attention to listen, and the tongues that stammer will learn quickly to speak peace.” Isaiah 32, verse 5. Let them no longer tell a fool to rule, nor let Your servants say any longer, “Be silent.” Isaiah 32, verse 6. For the fool will speak foolishness, and his heart will think vain things: to practice lawlessness, to speak error against the Lord, to scatter hungry souls, and to make thirsty souls empty. Isaiah 32, verse 7. For the counsel of evil men plans lawlessness, to destroy the humble with unjust words, and to scatter the words of the humble with judgment. Isaiah 32, verse 8. But the godly plan wise things, and this counsel remains. Isaiah 32, verse 9. Rise up, you rich women, and hear my voice. You daughters with hope, listen to my words. Isaiah 32, verse 10. In pain, yet with hope, remember that for a full year the harvest will be consumed and cease. It shall by no means come again. Isaiah 32, verse 11. Be amazed, be grieved, you confident ones. Strip yourselves, and gird your loins with sackcloth. Isaiah 32, verse 12. Beat upon your breasts because of the desirable fields and the fruit of the vine. Isaiah 32, verse 13. On the land of my people, thorns and grass will come up, and gladness will be taken from every house. As for the rich city, Isaiah 32, verse 14. the houses are deserted, and they will leave behind the wealth of the city and desirable houses. The villages will become caves forever, and the gladness of wild donkeys and pastures of shepherds— Isaiah 32, verse 15. until the Spirit comes upon you from on high, and the desert becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is counted as a forest. Isaiah 32, verse 16. Then judgment will take rest in the desert, and righteousness shall dwell in Carmel. Isaiah 32, verse 17. The works of righteousness will be peace, and righteousness shall ensure rest and confidence forever. Isaiah 32, verse 18. His people will dwell in a city of peace, and will dwell in confidence, and they will rest with riches. Isaiah 32, verse 19. Though hail should come down, it would not fall upon you, and those who dwell in the forests shall be as confident as those in the plain. Isaiah 32, verse 20. Blessed are those who sow beside all waters, where the ox and the donkey tread.
