32:1 Behold, a king 4428 shall reign 4427 8799 in righteousness 6664, and princes 8269 shall rule 8323 8799 in judgment 4941.

32:2 And a man 376 shall be as an hiding place 4224 from the wind 7307, and a covert 5643 from the tempest 2230; as rivers 6388 of water 4325 in a dry place 6724, as the shadow 6738 of a great 3515 rock 5553 in a weary 5889 land 776.(great: Heb. heavy)

32:3 And the eyes 5869 of them that see 7200 8802 shall not be dim 8159 8799, and the ears 241 of them that hear 8085 8802 shall hearken 7181 8799.

32:4 The heart 3824 also of the rash 4116 8737 shall understand 995 8799 knowledge 1847, and the tongue 3956 of the stammerers 5926 shall be ready 4116 8762 to speak 1696 8763 plainly 6703.(rash: Heb. hasty)(plainly: or, elegantly)

32:5 The vile person 5036 shall be no more called 7121 8735 liberal 5081, nor the churl 3596 said 559 8735 [to be] bountiful 7771.

32:6 For the vile person 5036 will speak 1696 8762 villany 5039, and his heart 3820 will work 6213 8799 iniquity 205, to practise 6213 8800 hypocrisy 2612, and to utter 1696 8763 error 8442 against the LORD 3068, to make empty 7324 8687 the soul 5315 of the hungry 7457, and he will cause the drink 4945 of the thirsty 6771 to fail 2637 8686.

32:7 The instruments 3627 also of the churl 3596 [are] evil 7451: he deviseth 3289 8804 wicked devices 2154 to destroy 2254 8763 the poor 6041 8675 6035 with lying 8267 words 561, even when the needy 34 speaketh 1696 8763 right 4941.(the needy…: or, he speaketh against the poor in judgment)

32:8 But the liberal 5081 deviseth 3289 8804 liberal things 5081; and by liberal things 5081 shall he stand 6965 8799.(stand: or, be established)

32:9 Rise up 6965 8798, ye women 802 that are at ease 7600; hear 8085 8798 my voice 6963, ye careless 982 8802 daughters 1323; give ear 238 8685 unto my speech 565.

32:10 Many days 3117 and years 8141 shall ye be troubled 7264 8799, ye careless women 982 8802: for the vintage 1210 shall fail 3615 8804, the gathering 625 shall not come 935 8799.(Many…: Heb. Days above a year)

32:11 Tremble 2729 8798, ye women that are at ease 7600; be troubled 7264 8798, ye careless ones 982 8802: strip 6584 8800 you, and make you bare 6209 8798, and gird 2290 [sackcloth] upon [your] loins 2504.

32:12 They shall lament 5594 8802 for the teats 7699, for the pleasant 2531 fields 7704, for the fruitful 6509 8802 vine 1612.(pleasant…: Heb. fields of desire)

32:13 Upon the land 127 of my people 5971 shall come up 5927 8799 thorns 6975 [and] briers 8068; yea, upon all the houses 1004 of joy 4885 [in] the joyous 5947 city 7151:(yea…: or, burning upon)

32:14 Because the palaces 759 shall be forsaken 5203 8795; the multitude 1995 of the city 5892 shall be left 5800 8795; the forts 6076 and towers 975 shall be for dens 4631 for 5704 ever 5769, a joy 4885 of wild asses 6501, a pasture 4829 of flocks 5739;(forts…: or, clifts and watchtowers)

32:15 Until the spirit 7307 be poured 6168 8735 upon us from on high 4791, and the wilderness 4057 be a fruitful field 3759, and the fruitful field 3759 be counted 2803 8735 for a forest 3293.

32:16 Then judgment 4941 shall dwell 7931 8804 in the wilderness 4057, and righteousness 6666 remain 3427 8799 in the fruitful field 3759.

32:17 And the work 4639 of righteousness 6666 shall be peace 7965; and the effect 5656 of righteousness 6666 quietness 8252 8687 and assurance 983 for 5704 ever 5769.

32:18 And my people 5971 shall dwell 3427 8804 in a peaceable 7965 habitation 5116, and in sure 4009 dwellings 4908, and in quiet 7600 resting places 4496;

32:19 When it shall hail 1258 8804, coming down 3381 8800 on the forest 3293; and the city 5892 shall be low 8213 8799 in a low place 8218.(low in…: or, utterly abased)

32:20 Blessed 835 [are] ye that sow 2232 8802 beside all waters 4325, that send forth 7971 8764 [thither] the feet 7272 of the ox 7794 and the ass 2543.
