Isaiah 32:1-5

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.
⁵No longer will the fool^(K) be called noble
    nor the scoundrel be highly respected.

New International Version

¹⁵till the Spirit^(A) is poured on us from on high,
    and the desert becomes a fertile field,^(B)
    and the fertile field seems like a forest.^(C)
¹⁶The Lord’s justice^(D) will dwell in the desert,^(E)
    his righteousness^(F) live in the fertile field.
¹⁷The fruit of that righteousness^(G) will be peace;^(H)
    its effect will be quietness and confidence^(I) forever.
¹⁸My people will live in peaceful^(J) dwelling places,
    in secure homes,^(K)
    in undisturbed places of rest.^(L)
