Isa Isaiah, chapter Book of Isaiah, chapter 32
Watch! A king is coming who does what's right when he rules, and those who rule under him will act fairly. Jer 23:5; Jer 33:15; Isa 11:5Each one will be like a shelter from the wind, like a protection from the storm, like rivers of water in the dry desert, like the shade of a large rock in a sun-baked32:2. “Sun-baked”: literally, “faint, weary”—in other words an oppressively hot climate that causes fatigue. land.Psa 143:6
Then everyone with eyes will be able to truly see, and everyone who has ears will be able to truly hear. Those whose minds are impulsive will be sensible and think things through; those who stammer will speak clearly. Luk 10:21No longer will fools be called respectable or crooks highly-regarded. For fools only talk foolishness, thinking evil things. They act in opposition to the Lord, misrepresenting him in what they say. They refuse to give food to the hungry and deny water to the thirsty. 1Sa 24:13Cheats use evil methods; they devise schemes to ruin the poor with lies, even when right is on the side of the poor. 1Sa 8:3; Pro 29:4; Act 20:35But noble people act unselfishly; they keep to their principles of generosity.Luk 6:45
Get up, you women who are lying around relaxing, and pay attention to what I'm saying! You ladies without a care in the world, listen to me! In just over a year, you who think yourselves so safe will tremble with fear. The grape harvest is going to fail and there'll be no harvest. Lev 26:34Shudder, you women relaxing! Tremble, you ladies who feel so safe! Strip off your clothes, bare yourselves and put on sackcloth around your waists. Beat your breasts in sadness over the loss of your lovely fields, your productive vines, over the loss of the land of my people. Mourn because it's now overgrown with thorns and brambles, mourn because of the loss of all the happy homes and joyful towns. Isa 34:13; Hos 9:6The palace is abandoned, the crowded town is deserted. Castles and watch towers will forever become homes loved by wild donkeys, and places where sheep graze, 2Ch 27:3until the Spirit is poured out on us from above, and the desert becomes like a good field full of crops, and a good field will grow like a forest.Isa 29:17
Then people living in the desert will practice justice, and those living among the fields will do what is right. Isa 35:1Living right will bring peace and security that endures. Rom 5:1My people will live in peace, safe and secure in their homes. Jer 33:16; Ezk 34:27Even though hail can destroy a forest, and a town can be demolished, you will be happy as you sow your crops beside the waters and let your cattle and donkeys roam freely.Psa 72:16
