## Text

[1] Behold, a king will reign in righteousness,
and princes will rule with justice. [2] Each will be like a shelter from the wind,
a refuge from the storm,
like streams of water in a dry land,
like the shadow of a great rock in an arid land. [3] Then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed,
and the ears of those who hear will listen. [4] The mind of the rash will know and understand,
and the stammering tongue will speak clearly and fluently. [5] No longer will a fool be called noble,
nor a scoundrel be respected. [6] For a fool speaks foolishness;
his mind plots iniquity.
He practices ungodliness
and speaks falsely about the LORD;
he leaves the hungry empty
and deprives the thirsty of drink. [7] The weapons of the scoundrel are destructive;
he hatches plots to destroy the poor with lies,
even when the plea of the needy is just. [8] But a noble man makes honorable plans;
he stands up for worthy causes. [9] Stand up, you complacent women;
listen to me.
Give ear to my word,
you overconfident daughters. [10] In a little more than a year you will tremble,
O secure ones.
For the grape harvest will fail
and the fruit harvest will not arrive. [11] Shudder, you ladies of leisure;
tremble, you daughters of complacency.
Strip yourselves bare
and put sackcloth around your waists. [12] Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields,
for the fruitful vines, [13] and for the land of my people,
overgrown with thorns and briers—
even for every house of merriment
in this city of revelry. [14] For the palace will be forsaken,
the busy city abandoned.
The hill and the watchtower will become caves forever—
the delight of wild donkeys
and a pasture for flocks— [15] until the Spirit is poured out
upon us from on high.
Then the desert will be an orchard,
and the orchard will seem like a forest. [16] Then justice will inhabit the wilderness,
and righteousness will dwell in the fertile field. [17] The work of righteousness will be peace;
the service of righteousness will be quiet confidence forever. [18] Then my people will dwell in a peaceful place,
in safe and secure places of rest. [19] But hail will level the forest,
and the city will sink to the depths. [20] Blessed are those who sow beside abundant waters,
who let the ox and donkey range freely.
