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.

  1. Isaiah 32:1 tn Heb “will reign according to fairness.”
  2. Isaiah 32:1 tn Heb “will rule according to justice.”
  3. Isaiah 32:2 tn Heb “a man,” but אִישׁ (ʾish) probably refers here to “each” of the officials mentioned in the previous verse.

32 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness,
    and princes shall rule in justice.
A man shall be as a hiding place from the wind,
    and a covert from the storm,
    as streams of water in a dry place,
    as the shade of a large rock in a weary land.
