Isaiah Chapter 32 (Index)

001  Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.

002  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.

003  And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken.

004  The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.

005  The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful.

006  For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practice hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.

007  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.

008  But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.

009  Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech.

010  Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.

011  Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins.

012  They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.

013  Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city:

014  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;

015  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.

016  Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.

017  And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

018  And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;

019  When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.

020  Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass.
