Government with Justice Predicted

32 See, a king will reign in righteousness,

and princes will rule with justice.

2 Each will be like a hiding place from the wind,

a covert from the tempest,

like streams of water in a dry place,

like the shade of a great rock in a weary land.

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

and the ears of those who have hearing will listen.

4 The minds of the rash will have good judgment,

and the tongues of stammerers will speak readily and distinctly.

5 A fool will no longer be called noble,

nor a villain said to be honorable.

6 For fools speak folly,

and their minds plot iniquity:

to practice ungodliness,

to utter error concerning the Lord,

to leave the craving of the hungry unsatisfied,

and to deprive the thirsty of drink.

7 The villainies of villains are evil;

they devise wicked devices

to ruin the poor with lying words,

even when the plea of the needy is right.

8 But those who are noble plan noble things,

and by noble things they stand.
