Israel’s Ultimate Deliverance / Isaiah 32:1-20123456Look, a righteous king is coming!And honest princes will rule under him.Each one will be like a shelter from the windand a refuge from the storm,like streams of water in the desertand the shadow of a great rock in a parched land.Then everyone who has eyes will be able to see the truth,and everyone who has ears will be able to hear it.Even the hotheads will be full of sense and understanding.Those who stammer will speak out plainly.In that day ungodly fools will not be heroes.Scoundrels will not be respected.For fools speak foolishnessand make evil plans.They practice ungodlinessand spread false teachings about the LORD.They deprive the hungry of foodand give no water to the thirsty.
