A King with Integrity

32Some day there will be a king who rules with integrity, and national leaders who govern with justice.H4428H4427H6664H8269H8323H4941 2Each of them will be like a shelter from the wind and a place to hide from storms. They will be like streams flowing in a desert, like the shadow of a giant rock in a barren land.H376H4224H7307H5643H2230H6388H4325H6724H6738H3515H5553H5889H776 3Their eyes and ears will be open to the needs of the people.H5869H7200H8159H241H8085H7181 4They will not be impatient any longer, but they will act with understanding and will say what they mean.H3824H4116H995H1847H3956H5926H4116H1696H6703 5No one will think that a fool is honorable or say that a scoundrel is honest.H5036H7121H5081H3596H559H7771 6A fool speaks foolishly and thinks up evil things to do. What he does and what he says are an insult to the LORD, and he never feeds the hungry or gives thirsty people anything to drink.H5036H1696H5039H3820H6213H205H6213H2612H1696H8442H3068H7324H5315H7457H4945H6771H2637 7A stupid person is evil and does evil things; he plots to ruin the poor with lies and to keep them from getting their rights.H3627H3596H7451H3289H2154H2254H6041H6035H8267H561H34H1696H4941 8But an honorable person acts honestly and stands firm for what is right.H5081H3289H5081H5081H6965

Judgment and Restoration

9You women who live an easy life, free from worries, listen to what I am saying.H6965H802H7600H8085H6963H982H1323H238H565 10You may be satisfied now, but this time next year you will be in despair because there will be no grapes for you to gather.H3117H8141H7264H982H1210H3615H625H935 11You have been living an easy life, free from worries; but now, tremble with fear! Strip off your clothes and tie rags around your waist.H2729H7600H7264H982H6584H6209H2290H2504 12Beat your breasts in grief because the fertile fields and the vineyards have been destroyed,H5594H7699H2531H7704H6509H1612 13and thorn bushes and briers are growing on my people's land. Weep for all the houses where people were happy and for the city that was full of life.H127H5971H5927H6975H8068H1004H4885H5947H7151 14Even the palace will be abandoned and the capital city totally deserted. Homes and the forts that guarded them will be in ruins forever. Wild donkeys will roam there, and sheep will find pasture there.H759H5203H1995H5892H5800H6076H975H4631H5704H5769H4885H6501H4829H5739 15But once more God will send us his spirit. The wasteland will become fertile, and fields will produce rich crops.H7307H6168H4791H4057H3759H3759H2803H3293 16Everywhere in the land righteousness and justice will be done.H4941H7931H4057H6666H3427H3759 17Because everyone will do what is right, there will be peace and security forever.H4639H6666H7965H5656H6666H8252H983H5704H5769 18God's people will be free from worries, and their homes peaceful and safe.H5971H3427H7965H5116H4009H4908H7600H4496 19(But hail will fall on the forests, and the city will be torn down.)H1258H3381H3293H5892H8213H8218 20How happy everyone will be with plenty of water for the crops and safe pasture everywhere for the donkeys and cattle.H835H2232H4325H7971H7272H7794H2543
