Isaiah 32:1-2
Lexham English Bible
The Kingdom of Righteousness
32 See, a king will rule according to righteousness,
and princes will rule according to justice.
2 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.
Isaiah 32:1-2
New English Translation
Isaiah 32:1-2
New English Translation
Justice and Wisdom Will Prevail
32 Look, a king will promote fairness;[a]
officials will promote justice.[b]
2 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.
