Isaias

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904
XXXII. 1 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and (as) for princes, they shall rule in judgment.
2 And a man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the rainstorm; as channels of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
3 And the eyes of them that see shall not be closed, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken.
4 And the heart of the hasty shall have discernment to know, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be quick to speak clearly. ·
5 The fool shall no more be called noble, nor the mean spoken of as liberal.
6 For the fool will speak folly, and his heart will work naughtiness, todo impiety, and to speak error against the Lord, to empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7 And the means of the mean are evil; it is he that deviseth plots to destroy the meek with words of falsehood, even when the needy speaketh judgment.
8 But the noble deviseth noble things; and he shall stand firm on noble things.
9 Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice: ye confident daughters, give ear unto my speech.
