Isaiah 32:1-6

KJV

NIV

1 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.
1 See, a king will reign in righteousness and rulers will rule with justice.
2 And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
2 Each one will be like a shelter from the wind and a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in the desert and the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land.
3 And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken.
3 Then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed, and the ears of those who hear will listen.
4 The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
4 The fearful heart will know and understand, and the stammering tongue will be fluent and clear.
5 The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful.
5 No longer will the fool be called noble nor the scoundrel be highly respected.
6 For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
6 For fools speak folly, their hearts are bent on evil: They practice ungodliness and spread error concerning the LORD; the hungry they leave empty and from the thirsty they withhold water.
