Safe Houses, Quiet Gardens

32But look! A king will rule in the right way, and his leaders will carry out justice.H4428H4427H6664H8269H8323H4941 2Each one will stand as a shelter from high winds, provide safe cover in stormy weather. Each will be cool running water in parched land, a huge granite outcrop giving shade in the desert.H376H4224H7307H5643H2230H6388H4325H6724H6738H3515H5553H5889H776 3Anyone who looks will see, anyone who listens will hear.H5869H7200H8159H241H8085H7181 4The impulsive will make sound decisions, the tongue-tied will speak with eloquence.H3824H4116H995H1847H3956H5926H4116H1696H6703 5No more will fools become celebrities, nor crooks be rewarded with fame.H5036H7121H5081H3596H559H7771 6For fools are fools and that's that, thinking up new ways to do mischief. They leave a wake of wrecked lives and lies about GOD, Turning their backs on the homeless hungry, ignoring those dying of thirst in the streets.H5036H1696H5039H3820H6213H205H6213H2612H1696H8442H3068H7324H5315H7457H4945H6771H2637 7And the crooks? Underhanded sneaks they are, inventive in sin and scandal, Exploiting the poor with scams and lies, unmoved by the victimized poor.H3627H3596H7451H3289H2154H2254H6041H6035H8267H561H34H1696H4941 8But those who are noble make noble plans, and stand for what is noble.H5081H3289H5081H5081H6965 9Take your stand, indolent women! Listen to me! Indulgent, indolent women, listen closely to what I have to say.H6965H802H7600H8085H6963H982H1323H238H565 10In just a little over a year from now, you'll be shaken out of your lazy lives. The grape harvest will fail, and there'll be no fruit on the trees.H3117H8141H7264H982H1210H3615H625H935 11Oh tremble, you indolent women. Get serious, you pampered dolls! Strip down and discard your silk fineries. Put on funeral clothes.H2729H7600H7264H982H6584H6209H2290H2504 12Shed honest tears for the lost harvest, the failed vintage.H5594H7699H2531H7704H6509H1612 13Weep for my people's gardens and farms that grow nothing but thistles and thornbushes. Cry tears, real tears, for the happy homes no longer happy, the merry city no longer merry.H127H5971H5927H6975H8068H1004H4885H5947H7151 14The royal palace is deserted, the bustling city quiet as a morgue, The emptied parks and playgrounds taken over by wild animals, delighted with their new home.H759H5203H1995H5892H5800H6076H975H4631H5704H5769H4885H6501H4829H5739 15Yes, weep and grieve until the Spirit is poured down on us from above And the badlands desert grows crops and the fertile fields become forests.H7307H6168H4791H4057H3759H3759H2803H3293 16Justice will move into the badlands desert. Right will build a home in the fertile field.H4941H7931H4057H6666H3427H3759 17And where there's Right, there'll be Peace and the progeny of Right: quiet lives and endless trust.H4639H6666H7965H5656H6666H8252H983H5704H5769 18My people will live in a peaceful neighborhood— in safe houses, in quiet gardens.H5971H3427H7965H5116H4009H4908H7600H4496 19The forest of your pride will be clear-cut, the city showing off your power leveled.H1258H3381H3293H5892H8213H8218 20But you will enjoy a blessed life, planting well-watered fields and gardens, with your farm animals grazing freely.H835H2232H4325H7971H7272H7794H2543
