Isaiah 32

2And this man will be one who hideth his words, and he will be hid as from a rolling flood. And he will be seen on Sion like a glorious stream in a thirsty land.

3And they shall no more put confidence in men; but shall apply their ears to hear.

4And the heart of the weak will listen attentively; and trifling tongues will soon learn to speak peace.

5And they will no more order the fool to govern, nor shall thy servants any more command silence.

6For the fool will speak foolishly, and his heart will devise vain things; that he may commit iniquity, and utter error before the Lord in order to scatter hungry souls: and the thirsty souls he will send away empty.

7For the counsel of the wicked will devise unlawful devices to destroy the poor with unjust pleas; and to baffle the pleas of the poor in judgment.

8But the pious have counselled with understanding; and their counsel shall be established.

10make mention of a day of a year in sorrow, with hope. The vintage is destroyed; it hath failed! must it never come again any more?

12and beat your breasts for the lovely field—for the fruitful vine.

13In this land of my people shall spring up the thorn and the briar, and joy shall be taken from every dwelling.

15till a spirit come on you from on high. Then will a desert become a Chermel and Chermel will be accounted a forest;

16and judgment will make a lasting abode in the desert, and righteousness will dwell in Chermel.

17And the works of righteousness shall be peace; and righteousness shall enjoy rest. As for them who have kept up their confidence till that age—

18His people shall then inhabit a city of peace and dwell secure, and they shall enjoy rest with riches.

19Though the hail descend, it shall not reach you: and they who dwell in the forest shall be secure as they in the plain.
