Isaiah 32:1–4

THE RIGHTEOUS KINGDOM ANNOUNCED

32 Indeed, a king will reign righteously,

and rulers will rule justly.p

2 Each will be like a shelter from the wind,

a refuge from the rain,q

like flowing streamsr in a dry land

and the shade of a massive rock in an arid land.

3 Then the eyes of those who see will not be closed,

and the ears of those who hear will listen.s

4 The reckless mind will gain knowledge,

and the stammering tonguet will speak clearly and fluently.
