32Look, a righteous king is coming! And honest princes will rule under him.H4428H4427H6664H8269H8323H49412Each one will be like a shelter from the wind and a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in the desert and the shadow of a great rock in a parched land.H376H4224H7307H5643H2230H6388H4325H6724H6738H3515H5553H5889H7763Then everyone who has eyes will be able to see the truth, and everyone who has ears will be able to hear it.H5869H7200H8159H241H8085H71814Even the hotheads will be full of sense and understanding. Those who stammer will speak out plainly.H3824H4116H995H1847H3956H5926H4116H1696H67035In that day ungodly fools will not be heroes. Scoundrels will not be respected.H5036H7121H5081H3596H559H77716For fools speak foolishness and make evil plans. They practice ungodliness and spread false teachings about the Lord. They deprive the hungry of food and give no water to the thirsty.H5036H1696H5039H3820H6213H205H6213H2612H1696H8442H3068H7324H5315H7457H4945H6771H26377The smooth tricks of scoundrels are evil. They plot crooked schemes. They lie to convict the poor, even when the cause of the poor is just.H3627H3596H7451H3289H2154H2254H6041H6035H8267H561H34H1696H49418But generous people plan to do what is generous, and they stand firm in their generosity.H5081H3289H5081H5081H69659Listen, you women who lie around in ease. Listen to me, you who are so smug.H6965H802H7600H8085H6963H982H1323H238H56510In a short time—just a little more than a year—you careless ones will suddenly begin to care. For your fruit crops will fail, and the harvest will never take place.H3117H8141H7264H982H1210H3615H625H93511Tremble, you women of ease; throw off your complacency. Strip off your pretty clothes, and put on burlap to show your grief.H2729H7600H7264H982H6584H6209H2290H250412Beat your breasts in sorrow for your bountiful farms and your fruitful grapevines.H5594H7699H2531H7704H6509H161213For your land will be overgrown with thorns and briers. Your joyful homes and happy towns will be gone.H127H5971H5927H6975H8068H1004H4885H5947H715114The palace and the city will be deserted, and busy towns will be empty. Wild donkeys will frolic and flocks will graze in the empty forts and watchtowersH759H5203H1995H5892H5800H6076H975H4631H5704H5769H4885H6501H4829H573915until at last the Spirit is poured out on us from heaven. Then the wilderness will become a fertile field, and the fertile field will yield bountiful crops.H7307H6168H4791H4057H3759H3759H2803H329316Justice will rule in the wilderness and righteousness in the fertile field.H4941H7931H4057H6666H3427H375917And this righteousness will bring peace. Yes, it will bring quietness and confidence forever.H4639H6666H7965H5656H6666H8252H983H5704H576918My people will live in safety, quietly at home. They will be at rest.H5971H3427H7965H5116H4009H4908H7600H449619Even if the forest should be destroyed and the city torn down,H1258H3381H3293H5892H8213H821820the Lord will greatly bless his people. Wherever they plant seed, bountiful crops will spring up. Their cattle and donkeys will graze freely.H835H2232H4325H7971H7272H7794H2543
Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
