Isaiah 32

¹Behold, a King shall reigne in iustice, and the princes shall rule in iudgement.

²And that man shall bee as an hiding place from the winde, and as a refuge for the tempest: as riuers of water in a drie place, and as the shadowe of a great rocke in a weary land.

³The eyes of the seeing shall not be shut, and the eares of them that heare, shall hearken.

⁴And the heart of the foolish shall vnderstand knowledge, and the tongue of the stutters shalbe ready to speake distinctly.

⁵A nigard shall no more be called liberall, nor the churle riche.

⁶But the nigarde will speake of nigardnesse, and his heart will worke iniquitie, and do wickedly, and speake falsely against the Lord, to make emptie the hungrie soule, and to cause the drinke of the thirstie to faile.

⁷For the weapons of the churle are wicked: hee deuiseth wicked counsels, to vndoe the poore with lying words: and to speake against the poore in iudgement.

⁸But the liberall man will deuise of liberall things, and he will continue his liberalitie.

⁹Rise vp, ye women that are at ease: heare my voyce, ye carelesse daughters: hearken to my wordes.

¹⁰Yee women, that are carelesse, shall be in feare aboue a yeere in dayes: for the vintage shall faile, and the gatherings shall come no more.

¹¹Yee women, that are at ease, be astonied: feare, O yee carelesse women: put off the clothes: make bare, and girde sackcloth vpon the loynes.

¹²Men shall lament for the teates, euen for the pleasant fieldes, and for the fruitefull vine.
