ISAIAH 32:1-8
Justice Will Rule
A king and his leaders will rule with justice.
They will be a place of safety from stormy winds, a stream in the desert, and a rock that gives shade from the heat of the sun.
Then everyone who has eyes will open them and see, and those who have ears will pay attention.
All who are impatient will take time to think; everyone who stutters will talk clearly.
Fools will no longer be highly respected, and crooks won't be given positions of honor.
Fools talk foolishness. They always make plans to do sinful things, to lie about the LORD, to let the hungry starve, and to keep water from those who are thirsty.
Cruel people tell lies-- they do evil things, and make cruel plans to destroy the poor and needy, even when they beg for justice.
But helpful people can always be trusted to make helpful plans. |
