32:1  Behold, a king will reign righteously And princes will rule justly.

32:2  Each will serve as a refuge from the wind And a shelter from the storm, Like streams of water in a dry country, Like the shade of a huge rock in a parched land.

32:3  Then the eyes of those who see will not become blind, And the ears of those who hear will listen.

32:4  The mind of the hasty will discern the truth, And the tongue of the stammerers will hasten to speak clearly.

32:5  No longer will they call the fool noble, Or will they call the rogue generous.

32:6  For a fool speaks nonsense, And his heart inclines toward wickedness: To practice ungodliness and to speak error against the LORD, To keep the hungry person unsatisfied And to withhold drink from the thirsty.

32:7  As for a rogue, his weapons seem evil; He devises wicked schemes To destroy the afflicted with slander, Even though the needy one speaks right.

32:8  But the noble man devises noble plans; And by noble plans he stands.

32:9  Rise up, you women who feel at ease, And hear my voice; Give ear to my word, You complacent daughters.

32:10  Within a year and a few days You will have trouble, O complacent daughters; For the vintage has ended, And the fruit gathering will not come.

32:11  Tremble, you women who feel at ease; Have trouble, you complacent daughters; Strip, undress and put sackcloth on your waist,

32:12   Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine,

32:13   For the land of my people in which thorns and briars shall come up; Yea, for all the joyful houses and for the jubilant city.

32:14  Because the palace has become abandoned, the populated city forsaken Hill and watch-tower have become caves forever, A delight for wild donkeys, a pasture for flocks;

32:15  Until the we receive the Spirit from on high, And the wilderness becomes a fertile field, And the fertile field they consider as a forest.

32:16  Then justice will dwell in the wilderness And righteousness will abide in the fertile field.

32:17  And the work of righteousness will become peace, And the service of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.

32:18  Then my people will live in a peaceful habitation, And in secure dwellings and in undisturbed resting places;

32:19  And it will hail when the forest comes down, And the city will receive destruction.

32:20  How the Lord blesses you , you who sow beside all waters, Who let out freely the ox and the donkey.
