Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.
Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.
The Glorious Future
Behold, a king will reign righteously
And princes will rule justly.
Behold, a king will reign righteously
And princes will rule justly.
And a man shall be as a hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from the storm; as brooks of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land.
Each will be like a refuge from the wind
And a shelter from the storm,
Like streams of water in a dry country,
Like the shade of a huge rock in a parched land.
And a shelter from the storm,
Like streams of water in a dry country,
Like the shade of a huge rock in a parched land.
And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken;
Then the eyes of those who see will not be blinded,
And the ears of those who hear will listen.
And the ears of those who hear will listen.
and the heart of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.

And the tongue of the stammerers will hasten to speak clearly.

The vile man shall be no more called noble, nor the churl said to be bountiful:
No longer will the fool be called noble,
Or the rogue be spoken of as generous.
Or the rogue be spoken of as generous.
for the vile man will speak villainy, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against Jehovah, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
For a fool speaks nonsense,
And his heart inclines toward wickedness:
To practice ungodliness and to speak error against the LORD,
To keep the hungry person unsatisfied
And to withhold drink from the thirsty.
And his heart inclines toward wickedness:
To practice ungodliness and to speak error against the LORD,
To keep the hungry person unsatisfied
And to withhold drink from the thirsty.
The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the meek with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.
As for a rogue, his weapons are evil;
He devises wicked schemes
To destroy the afflicted with slander,
Even though the needy one speaks what is right.
He devises wicked schemes
To destroy the afflicted with slander,
Even though the needy one speaks what is right.
But the noble deviseth noble things; and to noble things doth he stand.
But the noble man devises noble plans;
And by noble plans he stands.
And by noble plans he stands.

Upon the land of my people shall come up thistles [and] briars, yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city.
For the land of my people in which thorns and briars shall come up;
Yea, for all the joyful houses and for the jubilant city.

For the palace shall be deserted, the multitude of the city shall be forsaken; hill and watchtower shall be caves for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
Because the palace has been abandoned, the populated city forsaken.
Hill and watch-tower have become caves forever,
A delight for wild donkeys, a pasture for flocks;
Hill and watch-tower have become caves forever,
A delight for wild donkeys, a pasture for flocks;
until the Spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness become a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.

And the wilderness becomes a fertile field,
And the fertile field is considered as a forest.

And the fertile field is considered as a forest.

And righteousness will abide in the fertile field.

And the service of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.

Then my people will live in a peaceful habitation,
And in secure dwellings and in undisturbed resting places;

And it will hail when the forest comes down,
And the city will be utterly laid low.
And the city will be utterly laid low.
