CHAP. XXXII. / 1 The blessings of Christes kingdome. 9 Desolation is foreshowen. 15 Restauration is promised to succeede.

1Behold, a King shal reigne in righteousnes, and princes shal rule in iudgement.Select Isaiah 32:1

2And a man shall be as an hiding place from the winde, and a couert from the tempest: as riuers of water in a drie place, as the shadow of a great rocke in a wearie land.Select Isaiah 32:2

3And the eyes of them that see, shall not be dimme; and the eares of them that heare, shall hearken.Select Isaiah 32:3

4The heart also of the rash shall vnderstand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall bee readie to speake plainely.Select Isaiah 32:4

5The vile person shall be no more called liberall, nor the churle sayd to be bountifull.Select Isaiah 32:5

6For the vile person wil speake villenie, and his heart will worke iniquitie, to practise hypocrisie, and to vtter errour against the Lord, to make emptie the soule of the hungry, and hee will cause the drinke of the thirstie to faile.Select Isaiah 32:6

7The instruments also of the churle are euill: he deuiseth wicked deuices, to destroy the poore with lying wordes, euen when the needie speaketh right.Select Isaiah 32:7

8But the liberall deuiseth liberall things, and by liberall things shall hee stand.Select Isaiah 32:8

9Rise vp ye women that are at ease: heare my voice, ye carelesse daughters, giue eare vnto my speech.Select Isaiah 32:9

10Many dayes and yeeres shall ye be troubled, yee carelesse women: for the vintage shall faile, the gathering shall not come.Select Isaiah 32:10

11Tremble yee women that are at ease: be troubled, ye carelesse ones, strip ye and make ye bare, and gird sackecloth vpon your loynes.Select Isaiah 32:11

12They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fieldes, for the fruitfull vine.Select Isaiah 32:12

13Upon the land of my people shall come vp thornes, and briars, yea vpon all the houses of ioy in the ioyous citie.Select Isaiah 32:13

14Because the palaces shall be forsaken, the multitude of the citie shall be left, the forts and towres shall be for dennes for euer, a ioy of wild asses, a pasture of flockes;Select Isaiah 32:14

15Untill the spirit be powred vpon vs from on high, and the wildernesse be a fruitfull field, and the fruitfull field be counted for a forrest.Select Isaiah 32:15

16Then iudgement shall dwell in the wildernesse, and righteousnesse remaine in the fruitfull field.Select Isaiah 32:16

17And the worke of righteousnesse shalbe peace, and the effect of righteousnesse, quietnesse and assurance for euer.Select Isaiah 32:17

18And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places:Select Isaiah 32:18

19When it shall haile, comming downe on the forrest; and the citie shall be low in a low place.Select Isaiah 32:19

20Blessed are yee that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither the feete of the oxe and the asse.Select Isaiah 32:20
