32 Behold there comes a king
who will rule in a spirit of justice,
and princes who govern with equity –
2 each like a shelter from the wind,
a refuge from storm of rain,
or like streamlets of water in dry parched places,
or shade of great rock in a weary land.
3 Then the eyes that see will not be sealed,
and the ears that hear will not be heedless;
4 the mind of the rash will judge with discernment,
the stammering tongue will be fluent and plain.
5 No more will a fool be called ‘noble.’
No more will a knave be named ‘princely.’
6 For the fool speaks folly for ever,
his mind evermore plots mischief;
his doings are profane,
and error he speaks of the Lord.
He leaves the hungry unsated,
and drink he withholds from the thirsty.
7 The tricks of the evil are vile,
and villainies he plans –
to ruin the humble with lies,
and the poor, though his plea may be just.
8 But the plans of the ‘noble’ are noble,
by nobleness he will endure.
Warning to the women
9 You women who are at ease,
arise and hear my voice;
you carelessly confident daughters,
attend to what I say.
10 In little more than a year
you will shudder, for all your confidence;
for the vintage will surely fail,
and the fruit will not be garnered.
11 Tremble, you women at ease,
and you who are confident, shudder;
strip you, and make you bare,
gird (sackcloth) upon your loins,
12 and beat upon your breasts
in lament for the pleasant fields,
and for the fruitful vines,
13 and for the land of my people,
overgrown with thorns and briers.
Not a house of mirth will be left
in all the jubilant city.
14 The palace will be forsaken,
the thronging city deserted;
watchtower and hill will become
an everlasting waste.
The security and prosperity of the coming days
15 But yet from the heavenly height
will a spirit be poured upon us,
and the desert become like a garden,
and the garden be counted a forest.
16 Then justice will dwell in the desert,
and righteousness live in the garden-land.
17 Of justice the fruit will be peace,
and the outcome of righteousness safety
and quietness for ever.
18 My people will dwell in the mansion of peace,
at the easeful rest in abodes secure.
19 The forest will be felled,
and the city laid utterly low.
20 Happy are you who may sow
in a land that is all well watered,
where oxen and asses may roam.
The present distress and the future glory of Jerusalem
The distress
