A king who reigns for righteousness

¹Look: a king will reign to bring righteousness, \q and princes will govern to see justice done. ²Each of them will be a place to hide from the wind and a cover from the downpour, \q like channels of water in parched ground, \q like the shade of a great rock in a worn-out land. ³The eyes of the seeing will not be sealed over then, \q and the ears of the hearing will be alert. ⁴The hasty mind will come to understand and know, \q and stammering tongues will be quick to speak plainly. ⁵No longer will a fool be called noble, \q nor a swindler be spoken of as honorable. ⁶For a fool talks foolishness, and his mind works at evil: \q he behaves godlessly and says twisted things about the LORD, \q he sends the hungry away still empty \q and cuts off drink from the thirsty. ⁷As for the swindler, his tools are crooked; \q he dreams up schemes to bring the poor to ruin with lying words, \q even when the needy person pleads what is right. ⁸The noble, though, makes noble plans, \q and on what is noble he takes his stand.

Women at ease, and the Spirit from on high

⁹Women living at ease, stand up and hear my voice; \q daughters so sure of yourselves, listen to my words. ¹⁰In a year and some days you will be shaken, you women so sure of yourselves; \q the vintage will come to nothing, the ingathering will never arrive. ¹¹Tremble, you women at ease; shake, you who feel so secure! \q Strip off your clothes, lay yourselves bare, and wrap sackcloth around your waists. ¹²Strike your breasts in mourning \q over the delightful fields, over the vine that was so fruitful. ¹³On the soil of my people thornbushes and briers will grow, \q yes, over all the happy homes of the reveling town. ¹⁴For the palace will be deserted, the bustling city left empty; \q Ophel and the watchtower will be dens for ever, \q a playground for wild donkeys and grazing land for flocks, ¹⁵until the Spirit from on high is poured out upon us, \q and the wilderness turns into orchard land, \q and the orchard land is reckoned a forest. ¹⁶Justice will make its home in the wilderness, \q and righteousness will live on in the orchard land. ¹⁷What righteousness produces will be peace; \q what righteousness brings about will be calm and confidence for ever. ¹⁸My people will live in a peaceful homeland, \q in safe dwellings, in resting places free from care. ¹⁹Hail will fall as the forest comes crashing down, \q and the city will be brought low, utterly low. ²⁰How blessed are you who sow beside all the waters \q and send ox and donkey out to roam free!
