Isaiah 32:1-8

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

32 See, a king will reign in righteousness,
    and princes will rule with justice.
² Each will be like a hiding-place from the wind,
    a covert from the tempest,
like streams of water in a dry place,
    like the shade of a great rock in a weary land.
³ Then the eyes of those who have sight will not be closed,
    and the ears of those who have hearing will listen.
⁴ The minds of the rash will have good judgement,
    and the tongues of stammerers will speak readily and distinctly.
⁵ A fool will no longer be called noble,
    nor a villain be said to be honourable.
⁶ For fools speak folly,
    and their minds plot iniquity:
to practise ungodliness,
    to utter error concerning the Lord,
to leave the craving of the hungry unsatisfied,
    and to deprive the thirsty of drink.
⁷ The villainies of villains are evil;
    they devise wicked devices
to ruin the poor with lying words,
    even when the plea of the needy is right.
⁸ But those who are noble plan noble things,
    and by noble things they stand.
