Isaiah 32:1-4

New International Version

The Kingdom of Righteousness

32 See, a king^(A) will reign in righteousness
    and rulers will rule with justice.^(B)
²Each one will be like a shelter^(C) from the wind
    and a refuge from the storm,^(D)
like streams of water^(E) in the desert^(F)
    and the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land.

³Then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed,^(G)
and the ears^(H) of those who hear will listen.
⁴The fearful heart will know and understand,^(I)
and the stammering tongue^(J) will be fluent and clear.
