Isaiah 32:1-8 - The Kingdom Of Righteousness

¹ Look, a king will promote fairness; officials will promote justice. ² Each of them will be like a shelter from the wind and a refuge from a rainstorm; like streams of water in a dry region and like the shade of a large cliff in a parched land. ³ Eyes will no longer be blind and ears will be attentive. ⁴ The mind that acts rashly will possess discernment and the tongue that stutters will speak with ease and clarity. ⁵ A fool will no longer be called honorable; a deceiver will no longer be called principled. ⁶ For a fool speaks disgraceful things; his mind plans out sinful deeds. He commits godless deeds and says misleading things about the Lord; he gives the hungry nothing to satisfy their appetite and gives the thirsty nothing to drink. ⁷ A deceiver's methods are evil; he dreams up evil plans to ruin the poor with lies, even when the needy are in the right. ⁸ An honorable man makes honorable plans; his honorable character gives him security.
