Isaiah 32
NASB



The Glorious Future

Tools
1
Behold, a (A)king will reign righteously
And princes will rule justly.
Tools
2
Each will be like a (B)refuge from the wind
And a shelter from the storm,
Like (a)(C)streams of water in a dry country,
Like the (D)shade of a (b)huge rock in (c)a parched land.
Tools
3
Then (E)the eyes of those who see will not be (d)blinded,
And the ears of those who hear will listen.
Tools
4
The (e)mind of the (F)hasty will discern the (f)truth,
And the tongue of the stammerers will hasten to speak clearly.
Tools
5
No longer will the (G)fool be called noble,
Or the rogue be spoken of as generous.
Tools
6
For a fool speaks nonsense,
And his heart (g)(H)inclines toward wickedness:
To practice (I)ungodliness and to speak error against the Lord,
To (h)(J)keep the hungry person unsatisfied
And (i)to withhold drink from the thirsty.
Tools
7
As for a rogue, his weapons are evil;
He (K)devises wicked schemes
To (L)destroy the afflicted with (j)slander,
(M)Even though the needy one speaks (k)what is right.
Tools
8
But (N)the noble man devises noble plans;
And by noble plans he stands.
Tools
9
Rise up, you (O)women who are at ease,
And hear my voice;
(P)Give ear to my word,
You complacent daughters.
Tools
10
Within a year and a few days
You will be troubled, O complacent daughters;
(Q)For the vintage is ended,
And the fruit gathering will not come.
Tools
11
Tremble, you women who are at ease;
(R)Be troubled, you complacent daughters;
(S)Strip, undress and put sackcloth on your waist,
Tools
12
(T)Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine,
Tools
13
(U)For the land of my people in which thorns and briars shall come up;
Yea, for all the joyful houses and for the (V)jubilant city.
Tools
14
Because (W)the palace has been abandoned, the (l)populated (X)city forsaken.
(m)Hill and watch-tower have become (Y)caves forever,
A delight for (Z)wild donkeys, a pasture for flocks;
Tools
15
Until the (AA)Spirit is poured out upon us from on high,
And the wilderness becomes a (AB)fertile field,
And the fertile field is considered as a forest.
Tools
16
Then (AC)justice will dwell in the wilderness
And righteousness will abide in the fertile field.
Tools
17
And the (AD)work of righteousness will be peace,
And the service of righteousness, (AE)quietness and (n)confidence forever.
Tools
18
Then my people will live in a (AF)peaceful habitation,
And in secure dwellings and in undisturbed (AG)resting places;
Tools
19
And it will (AH)hail when the (AI)forest comes down,
And (AJ)the city will be utterly laid low.
Tools
20
How (AK)blessed will you be, you who sow beside all waters,
Who (o)let out freely the ox and the donkey.
