1
Behold,
a
king
shall
reign
in
righteousness,
and
princes
shall
rule
in
judgment.
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.
3
And
the
eyes
of
them
that
see
shall
not
be
dim,
and
the
ears
of
them
that
hear
shall
hearken.
4
The
heart
also
of
the
rash
shall
understand
knowledge,
and
the
tongue
of
the
stammerers
shall
be
ready
to
speak
plainly.
5
The
vile
person
shall
be
no
more
called
liberal,
nor
the
churl
said
[to
be]
bountiful.
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.
7
The
instruments
also
of
the
churl
[are]
evil:
he
deviseth
wicked
devices
to
destroy
the
poor
with
lying
words,
even
when
the
needy
speaketh
right.
8
But
the
liberal
deviseth
liberal
things;
and
by
liberal
things
shall
he
stand.
9
Rise
up,
ye
women
that
are
at
ease;
hear
my
voice,
ye
careless
daughters;
give
ear
unto
my
speech.
10
Many
days
and
years
shall
ye
be
troubled,
ye
careless
women:
for
the
vintage
shall
fail,
the
gathering
shall
not
come.
11
Tremble,
ye
women
that
are
at
ease;
be
troubled,
ye
careless
ones:
strip
you,
and
make
you
bare,
and
gird
[sackcloth]
upon
[your]
loins.
12
They
shall
lament
for
the
teats,
for
the
pleasant
fields,
for
the
fruitful
vine.
13
Upon
the
land
of
my
people
shall
come
up
thorns
[and]
briers;
yea,
upon
all
the
houses
of
joy
[in]
the
joyous
city:
14
Because
the
palaces
shall
be
forsaken;
the
multitude
of
the
city
shall
be
left;
the
forts
and
towers
shall
be
for
dens
for
ever,
a
joy
of
wild
asses,
a
pasture
of
flocks;
15
Until
the
spirit
be
poured
upon
us
from
on
high,
and
the
wilderness
be
a
fruitful
field,
and
the
fruitful
field
be
counted
for
a
forest.
16
Then
judgment
shall
dwell
in
the
wilderness,
and
righteousness
remain
in
the
fruitful
field.
17
And
the
work
of
righteousness
shall
be
peace;
and
the
effect
of
righteousness
quietness
and
assurance
for
ever.
18
And
my
people
shall
dwell
in
a
peaceable
habitation,
and
in
sure
dwellings,
and
in
quiet
resting
places;
19
When
it
shall
hail,
coming
down
on
the
forest;
and
the
city
shall
be
low
in
a
low
place.
20
Blessed
[are]
ye
that
sow
beside
all
waters,
that
send
forth
[thither]
the
feet
of
the
ox
and
the
ass.
