Isaiah 32:1-16

32:1

Behold, a king
<04428>

shall reign
<04427> (8799)

in righteousness
<06664>_,

and princes
<08269>

shall rule
<08323> (8799)

in judgment
<04941>_.

32:2

And a man
<0376>

shall be as an hiding place
<04224>

from the wind
<07307>_,

and a covert
<05643>

from the tempest
<02230>_;

as rivers
<06388>

of water
<04325>

in a dry place
<06724>_,

as the shadow
<06738>

of a great
<03515>

rock
<05553>

in a weary
<05889>

land
<0776>_.

{great: Heb. heavy}

32:3

And the eyes
<05869>

of them that see
<07200> (8802)

shall not be dim
<08159> (8799)_,

and the ears
<0241>

of them that hear
<08085> (8802)

shall hearken
<07181> (8799)_.

32:4

The heart
<03824>

also of the rash
<04116> (8737)

shall understand
<0995> (8799)

knowledge
<01847>_,

and the tongue
<03956>

of the stammerers
<05926>

shall be ready
<04116> (8762)

to speak
<01696> (8763)

plainly
<06703>_.

{rash: Heb. hasty} {plainly: or, elegantly}

32:5

The vile person
<05036>

shall be no more called
<07121> (8735)

liberal
<05081>_,

nor the churl
<03596>

said
<0559> (8735)

[to be] bountiful
<07771>_.

32:6

For the vile person
<05036>

will speak
<01696> (8762)

villany
<05039>_,

and his heart
<03820>

will work
<06213> (8799)

iniquity
<0205>_,

to practise
<06213> (8800)

hypocrisy
<02612>_,

and to utter
<01696> (8763)

error
<08442>

against the LORD
<03068>_,

to make empty
<07324> (8687)

the soul
<05315>

of the hungry
<07457>_,

and he will cause the drink
<04945>

of the thirsty
<06771>

to fail
<02637> (8686)_.

32:7

The instruments
<03627>

also of the churl
<03596>

[are] evil
<07451>_:

he deviseth
<03289> (8804)

wicked devices
<02154>

to destroy
<02254> (8763)

the poor
<06041> (8675) <06035>

with lying
<08267>

words
<0561>_,

even when the needy
<034>

speaketh
<01696> (8763)

right
<04941>_.

{the needy...: or, he speaketh against the poor in judgment}

32:8

But the liberal
<05081>

deviseth
<03289> (8804)

liberal things
<05081>_;

and by liberal things
<05081>

shall he stand
<06965> (8799)_.

{stand: or, be established}

32:9

Rise up
<06965> (8798)_,

ye women
<0802>

that are at ease
<07600>_;

hear
<08085> (8798)

my voice
<06963>_,

ye careless
<0982> (8802)

daughters
<01323>_;

give ear
<0238> (8685)

unto my speech
<0565>_.

32:10

Many days
<03117>

and years
<08141>

shall ye be troubled
<07264> (8799)_,

ye careless women
<0982> (8802)_:

for the vintage
<01210>

shall fail
<03615> (8804)_,

the gathering
<0625>

shall not come
<0935> (8799)_.

{Many...: Heb. Days above a year}

32:11

Tremble
<02729> (8798)_,

ye women that are at ease
<07600>_;

be troubled
<07264> (8798)_,

ye careless ones
<0982> (8802)_:

strip
<06584> (8800)

you, and make you bare
<06209> (8798)_,

and gird
<02290>

[sackcloth] upon [your] loins
<02504>_.

32:12

They shall lament
<05594> (8802)

for the teats
<07699>_,

for the pleasant
<02531>

fields
<07704>_,

for the fruitful
<06509> (8802)

vine
<01612>_.

{pleasant...: Heb. fields of desire}

32:13

Upon the land
<0127>

of my people
<05971>

shall come up
<05927> (8799)

thorns
<06975>

[and] briers
<08068>_;

yea, upon all the houses
<01004>

of joy
<04885>

[in] the joyous
<05947>

city
<07151>_:

{yea...: or, burning upon}

32:14

Because the palaces
<0759>

shall be forsaken
<05203> (8795)_;

the multitude
<01995>

of the city
<05892>

shall be left
<05800> (8795)_;

the forts
<06076>

and towers
<0975>

shall be for dens
<04631>

for
<05704>

ever
<05769>_,

a joy
<04885>

of wild asses
<06501>_,

a pasture
<04829>

of flocks
<05739>_;

{forts...: or, clifts and watchtowers}

32:15

Until the spirit
<07307>

be poured
<06168> (8735)

upon us from on high
<04791>_,

and the wilderness
<04057>

be a fruitful field
<03759>_,

and the fruitful field
<03759>

be counted
<02803> (8735)

for a forest
<03293>_.

32:16

Then judgment
<04941>

shall dwell
<07931> (8804)

in the wilderness
<04057>_,

and righteousness
<06666>

remain
<03427> (8799)

in the fruitful field
<03759>_.
