Government with Justice Predicted

32See, a king will reign in righteousness, and princes will rule with justice.H4428H4427H6664H8269H8323H4941 2Each will be like a hiding place from the wind, a covert from the tempest, like streams of water in a dry place, like the shade of a great rock in a weary land.H376H4224H7307H5643H2230H6388H4325H6724H6738H3515H5553H5889H776 3Then the eyes of those who have sight will not be closed, and the ears of those who have hearing will listen.H5869H7200H8159H241H8085H7181 4The minds of the rash will have good judgment, and the tongues of stammerers will speak readily and distinctly.H3824H4116H995H1847H3956H5926H4116H1696H6703 5A fool will no longer be called noble, nor a villain said to be honorable.H5036H7121H5081H3596H559H7771 6For fools speak folly, and their minds plot iniquity: to practice ungodliness, to utter error concerning the LORD, to leave the craving of the hungry unsatisfied, and to deprive the thirsty of drink.H5036H1696H5039H3820H6213H205H6213H2612H1696H8442H3068H7324H5315H7457H4945H6771H2637 7The villainies of villains are evil; they devise wicked devices to ruin the poor with lying words, even when the plea of the needy is right.H3627H3596H7451H3289H2154H2254H6041H6035H8267H561H34H1696H4941 8But those who are noble plan noble things, and by noble things they stand.H5081H3289H5081H5081H6965

Complacent Women Warned of Disaster

9Rise up, you women who are at ease, hear my voice; you complacent daughters, listen to my speech.H6965H802H7600H8085H6963H982H1323H238H565 10In little more than a year you will shudder, you complacent ones; for the vintage will fail, the fruit harvest will not come.H3117H8141H7264H982H1210H3615H625H935 11Tremble, you women who are at ease, shudder, you complacent ones; strip, and make yourselves bare, and put sackcloth on your loins.H2729H7600H7264H982H6584H6209H2290H2504 12Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine,H5594H7699H2531H7704H6509H1612 13for the soil of my people growing up in thorns and briers; yes, for all the joyous houses in the jubilant city.H127H5971H5927H6975H8068H1004H4885H5947H7151 14For the palace will be forsaken, the populous city deserted; the hill and the watchtower will become dens forever, the joy of wild asses, a pasture for flocks;H759H5203H1995H5892H5800H6076H975H4631H5704H5769H4885H6501H4829H5739 15until a spirit from on high is poured out on us, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is deemed a forest.H7307H6168H4791H4057H3759H3759H2803H3293

The Peace of God’s Reign

16Then justice will dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness abide in the fruitful field.H4941H7931H4057H6666H3427H3759 17The effect of righteousness will be peace, and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust forever.H4639H6666H7965H5656H6666H8252H983H5704H5769 18My people will abide in a peaceful habitation, in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places.H5971H3427H7965H5116H4009H4908H7600H4496 19The forest will disappear completely, and the city will be utterly laid low.H1258H3381H3293H5892H8213H8218 20Happy will you be who sow beside every stream, who let the ox and the donkey range freely.H835H2232H4325H7971H7272H7794H2543
