Isaiah Chapter 32

The government of justice


32:1 See, a king will rule for the sake of righteousness, and rulers will rule in judgment.
32:2 Man will be like a hiding place from the wind, and a cover from a downpour, like rivers of water in a dry place, like the shade of a large rock in a thirsty land.
32:3 And the eyes of seeing will no longer be closed and the ears of those that hear will listen.
32:4 The heart of the impulsive will have good judgement, and the tongue of the stammerers will hurry to speak plainly (or elegantly).
32:5 The foolish person will be no more called noble, or the miser said to be generous.
32:6 Because the foolish man will speak absurdity, and his heart plans wickedness, to act with hypocrisy, and to speak falsehood against YAHWEH יְהֹוָה‎

32:8 But a generous man plans generous acts; and he stand (or be established) for generous acts.

A prophecy of desolation


32:9 Y’all arrogant women, rise up and  hear my voice, y’all confident daughters; listen to my speech!
32:10 Days upon years will y’all be afraid when the vintage is finished the harvest doesn’t come in.
32:11 Be afraid, y’all arrogant women strip and
bare yourselves , and put [sackcloth] on your loins.
32:12 Beat your breasts in mourning for the pleasant fields, over the fruitful vine.
32:13 Over the land of my people thistles and weeds will sprout over all the houses of joy in the joyous city:
32:14 Because the palace will be abandoned; the multitude of the city will be forsaken; the forts and towers will become caves forever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
