32 ¹ Behold, a king will reign in righteousness,
and princes will rule in justice.
32 ² Each will be like a hiding place from the wind,
a covert from the tempest,
like streams of water in a dry place,
like the shade of a great rock in a weary land.
32 ³ Then the eyes of those who see will not be closed,
and the ears of those who hear will hearken.
32 ⁴ The mind of the rash will have good judgment,
and the tongue of the stammerers will speak readily and distinctly.
32 ⁵ The fool will no more be called noble,
nor the knave said to be honourable.
32 ⁶ For the fool speaks folly,
and his mind plots iniquity:
to practice ungodliness,
to utter error concerning Yahweh,
to leave the craving of the hungry unsatisfied,
and to deprive the thirsty of drink.
32 ⁷ The knaveries of the knave are evil;
he devises wicked devices
to ruin the poor with lying words,
even when the plea of the needy is right.
32 ⁸ But he who is noble devises noble things,
and by noble things he stands.
