  32:1 ¶
For, behold, a righteous king shall reign, and princes shall govern with judgement. |
|
32:1 ¶
Behold,º
a kingº
shall reignºº
in righteousness,º
and princesº
shall ruleºº
in judgment.º |
|
32:2
And a man shall hide his words, and be hidden, as from rushing water, and shall appear in Zion{gr.Sion} as a rushing river, glorious in a thirsty land. |
32:2
And a manº
shall beº
as an hiding placeº
from the wind,º
and a covertº
from the tempest;º
as riversº
of waterº
in a dry place,º
as the shadowº
of a greatº
rockº
in a wearyº
land.º |
|
32:3
And they shall no more trust in men, but they shall incline their ears to hear. |
32:3
And the eyesº
of them that seeºº
shall notº
be dim,ºº
and the earsº
of them that hearºº
shall hearken.ºº |
|
32:4
And the heart of the weak ones shall attend to hear, and the stammering tongues shall soon learn to speak peace. |
32:4
The heartº
also of the rashºº
shall understandºº
knowledge,ºº
and the tongueº
of the stammerersº
shall be readyºº
to speakºº
plainly.º |
|
32:5
And they shall no more at all tell a fool to rule, and thy servants shall no more at all say, Be silent. |
32:5
The vile personº
shall be noº
moreº
calledºº
liberal,º
norº
the churlº
saidºº
[to be] bountiful.º |
|
32:6
For the fool shall speak foolish words, and his heart shall meditate vanities, and to perform lawless deeds and to speak error against the Lord, to scatter hungry souls, and he will cause the thirsty souls to be empty. |
32:6
Forº
the vile personº
will speakºº
villany,º
and his heartº
will workºº
iniquity,º
to practiseºº
hypocrisy,º
and to utterºº
errorº
againstº
Yahweh,º
to make emptyºº
the soulº
of the hungry,º
and he will cause the drinkº
of the thirstyº
to fail.ºº |
|
32:7
For the counsel of the wicked will devise iniquity, to destroy the poor with unjust words, and ruin the cause of the poor in judgement. |
32:7
The instrumentsº
also of the churlº
[are] evil:º
heº
devisethºº
wicked devicesº
to destroyºº
the poorººº
with lyingº
words,º
even when the needyº
speakethºº
right.º |
|
32:8
But the godly have devised wise [measures], and this counsel shall stand. |
32:8
But the liberalº
devisethºº
liberal things;º
and byº
liberal thingsº
shall he stand.ºº |
|
32:9 ¶
Rise up, ye rich women, and hear my voice; ye confident daughters, hearken to my words. |
32:9 ¶
Rise up,ºº
ye womenº
that are at ease;º
hearºº
my voice,º
ye carelessºº
daughters;º
give earºº
unto my speech.º |
|
32:10
Remember for a full year in pain, yet with hope: the vintage has been cut off; it has ceased, it shall by no means come again. |
32:10
Many daysº
and yearsº
shall ye be troubled,ºº
ye careless women:ºº
forº
the vintageº
shall fail,ºº
the gatheringº
shall notº
come.ºº |
|
32:11
Be amazed, be pained, ye confident ones: strip you, bare yourselves, gird your loins; |
32:11
Tremble,ºº
ye women that are at ease;º
be troubled,ºº
ye careless ones:ºº
stripºº
you, and make you bare,ºº
and girdº
[sackcloth] uponº
[your] loins.º |
|
32:12
and beat your breasts, because of the pleasant field, and the fruit of the vine. |
32:12
They shall lamentºº
forº
the teats,º
forº
the pleasantº
fields,º
forº
the fruitfulºº
vine.º |
|
32:13
[As for] the land of my people, the thorn and grass shall come upon [it], and joy shall be removed from every house. |
32:13
Uponº
the landº
of my peopleº
shall come upºº
thornsº
[and] briers;º
yea,º
uponº
allº
the housesº
of joyº
[in] the joyousº
city:º |
|
32:14
[As for] the rich city, the houses are deserted; they shall abandon the wealth of the city, [and] the pleasant houses: and the villages shall be caves for ever, the joy of wild asses, shepherds' pastures; |
32:14
Becauseº
the palacesº
shall be forsaken;ºº
the multitudeº
of the cityº
shall be left;ºº
the fortsº
and towersº
shall beº
forº
densº
forº
ever,ºº
a joyº
of wild asses,º
a pastureº
of flocks;º |
|
32:15
until the Spirit shall come upon you from on high, and Carmel{gr.Chermel} shall be desert, and Carmel{gr.Chermel} shall be counted for a forest. |
32:15
Untilº
the spiritº
be pouredºº
uponº
us from on high,ºº
and the wildernessº
beº
a fruitful field,º
and the fruitful fieldº
be countedºº
for a forest.º |
|
32:16
Then judgement shall abide in the wilderness, and righteousness shall dwell in Carmel. |
32:16
Then judgmentº
shall dwellºº
in the wilderness,º
and righteousnessº
remainºº
in the fruitful field.º |
|
32:17
And the works of righteousness shall be peace; and righteousness shall ensure rest, and [the righteous] shall be confident for ever. |
32:17
And the workº
of righteousnessº
shall beº
peace;º
and the effectº
of righteousnessº
quietnessºº
and assuranceº
forº
ever.ºº |
|
32:18
And his people shall inhabit a city of peace, and dwell in [it] in confidence, and they shall rest with wealth. |
32:18
And my peopleº
shall dwellºº
in a peaceableº
habitation,º
and in sureº
dwellings,º
and in quietº
resting places;º |
|
32:19
And if the hail should come down, it shall not come upon you; and they that dwell in the forests shall be in confidence, as those in the plain country. |
32:19
When it shall hail,ºº
coming downºº
on the forest;º
and the cityº
shall be lowºº
in a low place.º |
|
32:20
Blessed are they that sow by every water, where the ox and ass tread. |
32:20
Blessedº
[are] ye that sowºº
besideº
allº
waters,º
that send forthºº
[thither] the feetº
of the oxº
and the ass.º |
