1Behold, a king will reign in righteousness, and princes will rule with justice.
“Behold, a king will reign in righteousness, and princes will rule with justice.”
“Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment,”
“Behold a king shall reign in righteousness and princes that you shall rule in judgment”
“a King shall reign in righteousness, and a Prince shall rule in judgment.”
2Each will be like a shelter from the wind, a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in a dry land, like the shadow of a great rock in an arid land.
“A man will be as a hiding place from the wind and a cover from the tempest as rivers of water in a dry place as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.”
“A man will be as a hiding place from the wind and a cover from the tempest, as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.”
“and a man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest, as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.”
“A man shall be as a hiding place from the wind and a covert from the tempest, as rivers of water in a dry place, as a shadow of a great rock in a weary land.”
“and a man shall be as in hiding place from the wind and a cover from the tempest as rivers of water in a dry place as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.”
3Then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed, and the ears of those who hear will listen.
“The eyes of those who see will not dim and the ears of those who hear will listen.”
“The eyes of those who see will not be dim, the ears of those who hear will listen.”
4The mind of the rash will know and understand, and the stammering tongue will speak clearly and fluently.
“the heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerer shall be ready to speak plainly.”
“Also the heart of the rash will understand knowledge and the tongue of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly.”
“Also the heart of the rash will understand knowledge, the tongue of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly.”
5No longer will a fool be called noble, nor a scoundrel be respected.
“The foolish person will no longer be called generous, nor the miser said to be bountiful.”
6For a fool speaks foolishness; his mind plots iniquity. He practices ungodliness and speaks falsely about the LORD; he leaves the hungry empty and deprives the thirsty of drink.
“For the foolish person will speak foolishness, and his heart will work iniquity to practice ungodliness, to utter error against the Lord, to keep the hungry unsatisfied, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.”
“for the vile person will speak his villainy and His heart will work iniquity to practice hypocrisy and to utter error against the Lord to make empty the soul of the hungry and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.”
7The weapons of the scoundrel are destructive; he hatches plots to destroy the poor with lies, even when the plea of the needy is just.
“The instruments also of the churl are evil. He devises wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words. Even when the needy speaketh right.”
“Also, the schemes of the schemer are evil. He devises wicked plans to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaks justice.”
8But a noble man makes honorable plans; he stands up for worthy causes.
“But the liberal deviseth liberal things and by liberal things shall he stand.”
“But a generous man devises generous things, and by generosity he shall stand.”
“"...But He who is noble plans noble things, and on the noble things He stands.".”
9Stand up, you complacent women; listen to me. Give ear to my word, you overconfident daughters.
“Rise up, you women who are at ease. Hear my voice, you complacent daughters. Give ear to my speech.”
“Rise up, ye women that are at ease. Hear my voice, ye careless daughters. Give ear unto my speech.”
“Rise up, ye women that are at ease. Hear my voice, ye careless daughters. Give ear unto my speech.”
“rise up, you women who are at ease. Hear my voice, you complacent daughters. Give ear to my speech.”
“Rise up, ye women that are at ease. Hear my voice. Ye careless daughters, give ear to my speech.”
10In a little more than a year you will tremble, O secure ones. For the grape harvest will fail and the fruit harvest will not arrive.
“In a year and some days you will be troubled, you complacent women. For the vintage will fail. The gathering will not come.”
“In a year and some days, you will be troubled, you complacent women. For the vintage will fail, the gathering will not come.”
“Many days and years shall be troubled. You careless women, for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.”
11Shudder, you ladies of leisure; tremble, you daughters of complacency. Strip yourselves bare and put sackcloth around your waists.
“Tremble, you women who are at ease. Be troubled, you complacent ones. Strip yourselves, make yourselves bare, and gird sackcloth on your waists.”
“Tremble, ye women that are at ease. Be troubled, ye careless ones. Strip you and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins.”
“tremble ye women that are at ease. Be troubled you careless ones. Strip you and make you bare and gird sackcloth upon your loins.”
12Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vines,
“People shall mourn upon their breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.”
“beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vines,”
13and for the land of my people, overgrown with thorns and briers— even for every house of merriment in this city of revelry.
“Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briars. Yea upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city”
“On the land of my people will come up thorns and briars, yes, on all the happy homes in the joyous city,”
“Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briars. Yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city.”
14For the palace will be forsaken, the busy city abandoned. The hill and the watchtower will become caves forever— the delight of wild donkeys and a pasture for flocks—
“because the palaces will be forsaken. The bustling city will be deserted. The forts and the towers will become lairs forever. A joy of wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks.”
“Because the palaces shall be forsaken. The multitude of the city shall be left. The forts and towers shall be for dens forever. A joy of wild asses, a pasture of”
15until the Spirit is poured out upon us from on high. Then the desert will be an orchard, and the orchard will seem like a forest.
“Until the Spirit be poured upon us from on high. And the wilderness be a fruitful field and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.”
“Until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field and the fruitful field is counted as a forest.”
“"...until the Spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest,”
“Until the Spirit be poured upon us from on high. And the wilderness be a fruitful field. And the fruitful field be counted for a forest.”
“until the spirit be poured upon us from on high and the wilderness be a fruitful field and the fruitful field be counted for a forest,”
“until the Spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.”
16Then justice will inhabit the wilderness, and righteousness will dwell in the fertile field.
“Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.”
“Then justice will dwell in the wilderness and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.”
“then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.”
“then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.”
“then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, righteousness remain in the fruitful field.”
17The work of righteousness will be peace; the service of righteousness will be quiet confidence forever.
“The work of righteousness will be peace and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever.”
“and the work of righteousness will be peace and the service of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.”
“the work of righteousness shall be peace and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance forever.”
“the work of righteousness shall be peace, and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance forever.”
“The work of righteousness shall be peace and the effect of righteousness, quietness, and assurance forever.”
“the work of righteousness shall be peace. And the effect of righteousness. Quietness. And assurance. Forever.”
18Then my people will dwell in a peaceful place, in safe and secure places of rest.
“And My people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation and in sure dwellings and in quiet resting places.”
“My people will dwell in a peaceful habitation in secure dwellings and in quiet resting places.”
“And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation. And sure dwellings. And in quiet. Resting places.”
“and assurance forever. My people shall dwell in peaceable Habitations and in sure dwellings and in quiet resting places.”
19But hail will level the forest, and the city will sink to the depths.
“when it shall hail, coming down on the forest and the city, shall be low in a low place.”
“Though hail comes down on the forest and the city is brought low in humiliation,”
“When it shall hail, coming down on the forest, and the city shall be low in a low place.”
“When it shall hail coming down on the forest in the city shall be low in a low place.”
20Blessed are those who sow beside abundant waters, who let the ox and donkey range freely.
“blessed are you who sow beside all waters, who send out freely the feet of the ox and the donkey.”
“Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass.”
“Blessed are all ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass.”
“Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters and send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass.”
