Isaiah - douay rheims

Chapter 32

¹ BEHOLD a king shall reign in justice, and princes shell rule in judgment.
² And a man shall be as when one is hid from the wind, and hideth himself from a storm, as rivers of waters in drought, and the shadow of a rock that standeth out in a desert land.
³ The eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken diligently.
⁴ And the heart of fools shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of stammerers shall speak readily and plain.
⁵ The fool shall no more be called prince: neither shall the deceitful be called great:
⁶ For the fool will speak foolish things, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and speak to the Lord deceitfully, and to make empty the soul of the hungry, and take away drink from the thirsty.
⁷ The vessels of the deceitful are most wicked: for he hath framed devices to destroy the meek, with lying words, when the poor man speaketh judgment.
⁸ But the prince will devise such things as are worthy of a prince, and he shah stand above the rulers.
⁹ Rise up, ye rich women, and hear my voice: ye confident daughters, give ear to my speech.
¹⁰ For after days and a year, you that are confident shall be troubled: for the vintage is at an end, the gathering shall come no more.
¹¹ Be astonished, ye rich women, be troubled, ye confident ones: strip yen, and be confounded, gird your loins.
¹² Mourn for your breasts, for the delightful country, for the fruitful vineyard.
¹³ Upon the land of my people shall thorns and briers come up: how much more upon all the houses of joy, of the city that rejoiced?
¹⁴ For the house is forsaken, the multitude of the city is left, darkness and obscurity are come upon its dens for ever. A joy of wild asses, the pastures of docks,
¹⁵ Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high: and the desert shall be se a charmel, and charmel shall be counted for a forest.
¹⁶ And judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and justice shall sit in charmel.
¹⁷ And the work of justice shall be peace, and the service of justice quietness, and security for ever.
¹⁸ And my people shall sit in the beauty of peace, and in the tabernacles of confidence, and in wealthy rest.
¹⁹ But hail shall be in the descent of the forest, and the city shall be made very low.
²⁰ Blessed are ye that sow upon all waters, sending thither the foot of the ox and the ass.

Chapter 32

¹ Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.
² And a man shall be as a hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as streams of water in a dry place, as the shade 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 villainy, and his heart will work iniquity, to practice 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 to 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 ye, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins.
¹² They shall lament for the breasts, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
¹³ Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; also, 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 shall be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness shall be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall 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.

Isaiah - basic english

Chapter 32

¹ See, a king will be ruling in righteousness, and chiefs will give right decisions.
² And a man will be as a safe place from the wind, and a cover from the storm; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shade of a great rock in a waste land.
³ And the eyes of those who see will not be shut, and those who have hearing will give ear to the word.
⁴ The man of sudden impulses will become wise in heart, and he whose tongue is slow will get the power of talking clearly.
⁵ The foolish man will no longer be named noble, and they will not say of the false man that he is a man of honour.
⁶ For the foolish man will say foolish things, having evil thoughts in his heart, working what is unclean, and talking falsely about the Lord, to keep food from him who is in need of it, and water from him whose soul is desiring it.
⁷ The designs of the false are evil, purposing the destruction of the poor man by false words, even when he is in the right.
⁸ But the noble-hearted man has noble purposes, and by these he will be guided.
⁹ Give ear to my voice, you women who are living in comfort; give attention to my words, you daughters who have no fear of danger.
¹⁰ In not much more than a year, you, who are not looking for evil, will be troubled: for the produce of the vine-gardens will be cut off, and there will be no getting in of the grapes.
¹¹ Be shaking with fear, you women who are living in comfort; be troubled, you who have no fear of danger: take off your robes and put on clothing of grief.
¹² Have sorrow for the fields, the pleasing fields, the fertile vine;
¹³ And for the land of my people, where thorns will come up; even for all the houses of joy in the glad town.
¹⁴ For the fair houses will have no man living in them; the town which was full of noise will become a waste; the hill and the watchtower will be unpeopled for ever, a joy for the asses of the woods, a place of food for the flocks;
¹⁵ Till the spirit comes on us from on high, and the waste land becomes a fertile field, and the fertile field is changed into a wood.
¹⁶ Then in the waste land there will be an upright rule, and righteousness will have its place in the fertile field.
¹⁷ And the work of righteousness will be peace; and the effect of an upright rule will be to take away fear for ever.
¹⁸ And my people will be living in peace, in houses where there is no fear, and in quiet resting-places.
¹⁹ But the tall trees will come down with a great fall, and the town will be low in a low place.
²⁰ Happy are you who are planting seed by all the waters, and sending out the ox and the ass.
