1 # Behold, a king <04428> shall reign <04427> (8799) in righteousness <06664>, and princes <08269> shall rule <08323> (8799) in judgment <04941>.
2 And a man <0376> shall be as an hiding place <04224> from the wind <07307>, and a covert <05643> from the tempest <02230> ; as rivers <06388> of water <04325> in a dry place <06724>, as the shadow <06738> of a great <03515> rock <05553> in a weary <05889> land <0776>.
3 And the eyes <05869> of them that see <07200> (8802) shall not be dim <08159> (8799), and the ears <0241> of them that hear <08085> (8802) shall hearken <07181> (8799).
4 The heart <03824> also of the rash <04116> (8737) shall understand <0995> (8799) knowledge <01847> , and the tongue <03956> of the stammerers <05926> shall be ready <04116> (8762) to speak <01696> (8763) plainly <06703> .
5 The vile person <05036> shall be no more called <07121> (8735) liberal <05081>, nor the churl <03596> said <0559> (8735) to be bountiful <07771>.
6 For the vile person <05036> will speak <01696> (8762) villany <05039>, and his heart <03820> will work <06213> (8799) iniquity <0205>, to practise <06213> (8800) hypocrisy <02612>, and to utter <01696> (8763) error <08442> against the LORD <03068>, to make empty <07324> (8687) the soul <05315> of the hungry <07457>, and he will cause the drink <04945> of the thirsty <06771> to fail <02637> (8686).
7 The instruments <03627> also of the churl <03596> are evil <07451>: he deviseth <03289> (8804) wicked devices <02154> to destroy <02254> (8763) the poor <06041> (8675) <06035> with lying <08267> words <0561> , even when the needy <034> speaketh <01696> (8763) right <04941>.
8 But the liberal <05081> deviseth <03289> (8804) liberal things <05081>; and by liberal things <05081> shall he stand <06965> (8799).
9 # Rise up <06965> (8798), ye women <0802> that are at ease <07600>; hear <08085> (8798) my voice <06963>, ye careless <0982> (8802) daughters <01323>; give ear <0238> (8685) unto my speech <0565>.
10 Many days <03117> and years <08141> shall ye be troubled <07264> (8799), ye careless women <0982> (8802) : for the vintage <01210> shall fail <03615> (8804), the gathering <0625> shall not come <0935> (8799).
11 Tremble <02729> (8798), ye women that are at ease <07600>; be troubled <07264> (8798), ye careless ones <0982> (8802): strip <06584> (8800) you, and make you bare <06209> (8798), and gird <02290> sackcloth upon your loins <02504>.
12 They shall lament <05594> (8802) for the teats <07699>, for the pleasant <02531> fields <07704>, for the fruitful <06509> (8802) vine <01612>.
13 Upon the land <0127> of my people <05971> shall come up <05927> (8799) thorns <06975> and briers <08068>; yea, upon all the houses <01004> of joy <04885> in the joyous <05947> city <07151>:
14 Because the palaces <0759> shall be forsaken <05203> (8795); the multitude <01995> of the city <05892> shall be left <05800> (8795); the forts <06076> and towers <0975> shall be for dens <04631> for <05704> ever <05769>, a joy <04885> of wild asses <06501>, a pasture <04829> of flocks <05739>;
15 Until the spirit <07307> be poured <06168> (8735) upon us from on high <04791>, and the wilderness <04057> be a fruitful field <03759>, and the fruitful field <03759> be counted <02803> (8735) for a forest <03293>.
16 Then judgment <04941> shall dwell <07931> (8804) in the wilderness <04057>, and righteousness <06666> remain <03427> (8799) in the fruitful field <03759>.
17 And the work <04639> of righteousness <06666> shall be peace <07965>; and the effect <05656> of righteousness <06666> quietness <08252> (8687) and assurance <0983> for <05704> ever <05769>.
18 And my people <05971> shall dwell <03427> (8804) in a peaceable <07965> habitation <05116>, and in sure <04009> dwellings <04908>, and in quiet <07600> resting places <04496>;
19 When it shall hail <01258> (8804), coming down <03381> (8800) on the forest <03293>; and the city <05892> shall be low <08213> (8799) in a low place <08218>.
20 Blessed <0835> are ye that sow <02232> (8802) beside all waters <04325>, that send forth <07971> (8764) thither the feet <07272> of the ox <07794> and the ass <02543>.
