\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 1 Look, a king will reign in righteousness, and princes will rule in justice.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 2 Each one will be like a shelter from the wind and a refuge from the storm,
|
||
|
|
\q1 like streams of water in a dry place, like the shade of a great rock in a land of weariness.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 3 Then the eyes of those who see will not be dim, and the ears of those who hear will hear attentively.
|
||
|

|
\s5
|

|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 4 The rash will think carefully with understanding, and the stutterer will speak distinctly and with ease.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 5 The fool will no longer be called honorable, nor the deceiver called principled.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 6 For the fool speaks folly, and his heart plans evil
|
||
|
|
\q1 and godless actions, and he speaks wrongly against Yahweh.
|
||
|
|
\q1 He makes the hungry empty, and the thirsty he causes to lack drink.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 7 The deceiver's methods are evil. He devises wicked schemes
|
||
|
|
\q1 to ruin the poor with lies, even when the poor say what is right.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 8 But the honorable man makes honorable plans; and because of his honorable actions he will stand.

\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 9 Rise up, you women who are at ease, and listen to my voice;
|
||
|
|
\q1 you carefree daughters, listen to me.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 10 For in a little more than a year your confidence will be broken,
|
||
|
|
\q1 you carefree women, for the grape harvest will fail, the ingathering will not come.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 11 Tremble, you women who are at ease; be troubled, you confident ones;
|
||
|
|
\q1 take off your fine clothes and make yourselves bare; put on sackcloth around your waists.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 12 You will wail for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vines.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 13 The land of my people will be overgrown with thorns and briers,
|
||
|
|
\q1 even in all the once joyful houses in the city of revelry.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 14 For the palace will be forsaken, the crowded city will be deserted;
|
||
|
|
\q1 the hill and the watchtower will become caves forever,
|
||
|
|
\q1 a joy of wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks;
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 15 until the Spirit is poured on us from on high,
|
||
|
|
\q1 and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is considered as a forest.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\p
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 16 Then justice will reside in the wilderness; and righteousness will live in the fruitful field.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 17 The work of righteousness will be peace; and the result of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 18 My people will live in a peaceful habitation, in secure homes, and in quiet resting places.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q1
|
||
|
|
\v 19 But even if it hails and the forest is destroyed, and the city is completely annihilated,
|
||
|
|
\v 20 you who sow beside all the streams will be blessed, you who who send out your ox and donkey to graze.
