Isaiah 32:1-8

Look—a new era begins! A king will reign with righteousness, and his princes according to justice! A man will be a hiding place from the stormy wind and a secret shelter from the tempest. Life will flow from each one, like streams of water in the desert, like the refreshing shade of a massive rock in a weary, thirsty land. Then at last, eyes that are ready to see will finally be opened! Ears that are ready to hear will finally be opened! The hearts of those who were once hasty to form opinions will finally understand and know. And those with stammering tongues will speak dazzling truths! The fool will no longer be called Your Honor, nor the scoundrel highly respected, for the fool is recognized by his foolish words. Their minds plot treachery, they excel in ungodliness, and they say misleading things about YAHWEH. They refuse to feed the hungry or give drink to the thirsty. The deceiver’s schemes and plans are evil. He schemes of cheating the poor, even when their plea is just. But a person of honor has honorable plans, and his integrity gives him security.
