Isaiah 32
32
A King Will Reign in Righteousness
1Behold, #Ps. 72:1, 2, 4; Jer. 23:5; See ch. 11:1-4a king will reign in righteousness,
and princes will rule in justice.
2 # ch. 4:6; 25:4 Each will be like a hiding place from the wind,
a shelter from the storm,
# ch. 33:21 like streams of water in a dry place,
like the shade of a great rock in a weary land.
3 # See ch. 29:18 Then the eyes of those who see will not be closed,
and the ears of those who hear will give attention.
4The heart of the hasty will understand and know,
# ch. 35:6 and the tongue of the stammerers will hasten to speak distinctly.
5 # [ch. 5:20] The fool will no more be called noble,
nor the scoundrel said to be honorable.
6For #1 Sam. 24:13 the fool speaks folly,
and his heart is busy with iniquity,
to practice ungodliness,
to utter error concerning the Lord,
# [ch. 3:14, 15] to leave the craving of the hungry unsatisfied,
and to deprive the thirsty of drink.
7As for the scoundrel—#Mic. 2:1, 2his devices are evil;
he plans wicked schemes
to ruin the poor with lying words,
even when the plea of the needy is right.
8But he who is noble plans noble things,
and on noble things he stands.
Complacent Women Warned of Disaster
9 # See ch. 3:16–4:1 Rise up, you women #Amos 6:1who are at ease, hear my voice;
you complacent daughters, give ear to my speech.
10In little more than a year
you will shudder, you complacent women;
for the grape harvest fails,
the fruit harvest will not come.
11Tremble, you women #[See ver. 9 above] who are at ease,
shudder, you complacent ones;
# [ch. 47:2, 3] strip, and make yourselves bare,
# See Gen. 37:34 and tie sackcloth around your waist.
12 # [ch. 24:7] Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields,
for the fruitful vine,
13 # ch. 7:23; 34:13; Hos. 9:6 for the soil of my people
growing up in thorns and briers,
# [ch. 24:11, 12] yes, for all the joyous houses
in the exultant city.
14For the palace is forsaken,
the populous city deserted;
the hill and the watchtower
will become dens forever,
#
Jer. 2:24
a joy of wild donkeys,
a pasture of flocks;
15until #[ch. 11:2; Joel 2:28] the Spirit is poured upon us from on high,
and #ch. 35:1, 2; [ch. 29:17]the wilderness becomes a fruitful field,
and the fruitful field is deemed a forest.
16Then justice will dwell in the wilderness,
and righteousness abide in the fruitful field.
17 #
James 3:18; [ch. 1:27; Ps. 72:3; 119:165] And the effect of righteousness will be peace,
and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust#32:17 Or security forever.
18My people will abide in a peaceful habitation,
in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places.
19 # ch. 28:2, 17 And it will hail when the forest falls down,
# ch. 26:5 and the city will be utterly laid low.
20 #
Eccles. 11:1; [ch. 30:23] Happy are you who sow beside all waters,
who let the feet of the ox and the donkey range free.
