The Kingdom of Righteousness

32 See, a king will rule according to righteousness,
    and princes will rule according to justice.
And each one will be like a hiding place from the wind
    and a covering from the rainstorm,
like streams of water in a dry region,
    like the shade of a large rock in a weary land.

Justice and Wisdom Will Prevail

32 Look, a king will promote fairness;[a]
officials will promote justice.[b]
Each of them[c] will be like a shelter from the wind
and a refuge from a rainstorm;
like streams of water in a dry region
and like the shade of a large cliff in a parched land.
