Dual Panel1Behold, a king <04428> shall reign <04427> (8799) in righteousness <06664>_, and princes <08269> shall rule <08323> (8799) in judgment <04941>_.
2And a man <0376> shall be as an hiding place <04224> from the wind <07307>_, and a covert <05643> from the tempest <02230>_; as rivers <06388> of water <04325> in a dry place <06724>_, as the shadow <06738> of a great <03515> rock <05553> in a weary <05889> land <0776>_. {great: Heb. heavy}
3And the eyes <05869> of them that see <07200> (8802) shall not be dim <08159> (8799)_, and the ears <0241> of them that hear <08085> (8802) shall hearken <07181> (8799)_.
4The heart <03824> also of the rash <04116> (8737) shall understand <0995> (8799) knowledge <01847>_, and the tongue <03956> of the stammerers <05926> shall be ready <04116> (8762) to speak <01696> (8763) plainly <06703>_. {rash: Heb. hasty} {plainly: or, elegantly}
5The vile person <05036> shall be no more called <07121> (8735) liberal <05081>_, nor the churl <03596> said <0559> (8735) [to be] bountiful <07771>_.
6For the vile person <05036> will speak <01696> (8762) villany <05039>_, and his heart <03820> will work <06213> (8799) iniquity <0205>_, to practise <06213> (8800) hypocrisy <02612>_, and to utter <01696> (8763) error <08442> against the LORD <03068>_, to make empty <07324> (8687) the soul <05315> of the hungry <07457>_, and he will cause the drink <04945> of the thirsty <06771> to fail <02637> (8686)_.
7The instruments <03627> also of the churl <03596> [are] evil <07451>_: he deviseth <03289> (8804) wicked devices <02154> to destroy <02254> (8763) the poor <06041> (8675) <06035> with lying <08267> words <0561>_, even when the needy <034> speaketh <01696> (8763) right <04941>_. {the needy...: or, he speaketh against the poor in judgment}
8But the liberal <05081> deviseth <03289> (8804) liberal things <05081>_; and by liberal things <05081> shall he stand <06965> (8799)_. {stand: or, be established}
9Rise up <06965> (8798)_, ye women <0802> that are at ease <07600>_; hear <08085> (8798) my voice <06963>_, ye careless <0982> (8802) daughters <01323>_; give ear <0238> (8685) unto my speech <0565>_.
10Many days <03117> and years <08141> shall ye be troubled <07264> (8799)_, ye careless women <0982> (8802)_: for the vintage <01210> shall fail <03615> (8804)_, the gathering <0625> shall not come <0935> (8799)_. {Many...: Heb. Days above a year}
11Tremble <02729> (8798)_, ye women that are at ease <07600>_; be troubled <07264> (8798)_, ye careless ones <0982> (8802)_: strip <06584> (8800) you, and make you bare <06209> (8798)_, and gird <02290> [sackcloth] upon [your] loins <02504>_.
12They shall lament <05594> (8802) for the teats <07699>_, for the pleasant <02531> fields <07704>_, for the fruitful <06509> (8802) vine <01612>_. {pleasant...: Heb. fields of desire}
13Upon the land <0127> of my people <05971> shall come up <05927> (8799) thorns <06975> [and] briers <08068>_; yea, upon all the houses <01004> of joy <04885> [in] the joyous <05947> city <07151>_: {yea...: or, burning upon}
14Because the palaces <0759> shall be forsaken <05203> (8795)_; the multitude <01995> of the city <05892> shall be left <05800> (8795)_; the forts <06076> and towers <0975> shall be for dens <04631> for <05704> ever <05769>_, a joy <04885> of wild asses <06501>_, a pasture <04829> of flocks <05739>_; {forts...: or, clifts and watchtowers}
15Until the spirit <07307> be poured <06168> (8735) upon us from on high <04791>_, and the wilderness <04057> be a fruitful field <03759>_, and the fruitful field <03759> be counted <02803> (8735) for a forest <03293>_.
16Then judgment <04941> shall dwell <07931> (8804) in the wilderness <04057>_, and righteousness <06666> remain <03427> (8799) in the fruitful field <03759>_.
17And the work <04639> of righteousness <06666> shall be peace <07965>_; and the effect <05656> of righteousness <06666> quietness <08252> (8687) and assurance <0983> for <05704> ever <05769>_.
18And my people <05971> shall dwell <03427> (8804) in a peaceable <07965> habitation <05116>_, and in sure <04009> dwellings <04908>_, and in quiet <07600> resting places <04496>_;
19When it shall hail <01258> (8804)_, coming down <03381> (8800) on the forest <03293>_; and the city <05892> shall be low <08213> (8799) in a low place <08218>_. {low in...: or, utterly abased}
20Blessed <0835> [are] ye that sow <02232> (8802) beside all waters <04325>_, that send forth <07971> (8764) [thither] the feet <07272> of the ox <07794> and the ass <02543>_.
