Isaiah 32 — GMV

32 Verse 1 For, behold, a righteous king shall reign, and princes shall govern with judgment. ^{Verse 2} And a man shall hide his words, and be hidden, as from rushing water, and shall appear in Zion as a rushing river, glorious in a thirsty land. ^{Verse 3} And they shall no more trust in men, but they shall incline their ears to hear. ^{Verse 4} And the heart of the weak ones shall attend to hear, and the stammering tongues shall soon learn to speak peace. ^{Verse 5} And they shall no more at all tell a fool to rule, and thy servants shall no more at all say, Be silent. ^{Verse 6} For the fool shall speak foolish words, and his heart shall meditate vanities, and to perform lawless deeds and to speak error against the Lord, to scatter hungry souls, and he will cause the thirsty souls to be empty. ^{Verse 7} For the counsel of the wicked will devise iniquity, to destroy the poor with unjust words, and ruin the cause of the poor in judgment. ^{Verse 8} But the godly have devised wise measures, and this counsel shall stand. ^{Verse 9} Rise up, ye rich women, and hear my voice; ye confident daughters, hearken to my words. ^{Verse 10} Remember for a full year in pain, yet with hope: the vintage has been cut off, it has ceased, it shall by no means come again. ^{Verse 11} Be amazed, be pained, ye confident ones: strip you, bare yourselves, gird your loins; ^{Verse 12} and beat on your breasts, because of the pleasant field, and the fruit of the vine. ^{Verse 13} As for the land of my people, the thorn and grass shall come upon it, and joy shall be removed from every house. ^{Verse 14} As for the rich city, the houses are deserted; they shall abandon the wealth of the city, and the pleasant houses: and the villages shall be caves forever, the joy of wild asses, shepherds’ pastures; ^{Verse 15} until the Spirit shall come upon you from on high, and Carmel shall be desert, and Carmel shall be counted for a forest. ^{Verse 16} Then judgment shall abide in the wilderness, and righteousness shall dwell in Carmel. ^{Verse 17} And the works of righteousness shall be peace; and righteousness shall ensure rest, and the righteous shall be confident forever. ^{Verse 18} And his people shall inhabit a city of peace, and dwell in it in confidence, and they shall rest with wealth. ^{Verse 19} And if the hail should come down, it shall not come upon you; and they that dwell in the forests shall be in confidence, as those in the plain country. ^{Verse 20} Blessed are they that sow by every water, where the ox and ass tread.
