World English Bible Classic
[1] Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness,
and princes shall rule in justice.
[2] 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.
[3] The eyes of those who see will not be dim,
and the ears of those who hear will listen.
[4] The heart of the rash will understand knowledge,
and the tongue of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly.
[5] The fool will no longer be called noble,
nor the scoundrel be highly respected.
[6] For the fool will speak folly,
and his heart will work iniquity,
to practice profanity,
and to utter error against Yahweh,
to make empty the soul of the hungry,
and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
[7] The ways of the scoundrel are evil.
He devises wicked plans to destroy the humble with lying words,
even when the needy speaks right.
[8] But the noble devises noble things,
and he will continue in noble things. [9] Rise up, you women who are at ease! Hear my voice!
You careless daughters, give ear to my speech!
[10] For days beyond a year you will be troubled, you careless women;
for the vintage will fail.
The harvest won’t come.
[11] Tremble, you women who are at ease!
Be troubled, you careless ones!
Strip yourselves, make yourselves naked,
and put sackcloth on your waist.
[12] Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields,
for the fruitful vine.
[13] Thorns and briers will come up on my people’s land;
yes, on all the houses of joy in the joyous city.
[14] For the palace will be forsaken.
The populous city will be deserted.
The hill and the watchtower will be for dens forever,
a delight for wild donkeys,
a pasture of flocks,
[15] until the Spirit is poured on us from on high,
and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field,
and the fruitful field is considered a forest. [16] Then justice will dwell in the wilderness;
and righteousness will remain in the fruitful field.
[17] The work of righteousness will be peace,
and the effect of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.
[18] My people will live in a peaceful habitation,
in safe dwellings,
and in quiet resting places,
[19] though hail flattens the forest,
and the city is leveled completely.
[20] Blessed are you who sow beside all waters,
who send out the feet of the ox and the donkey.
King James Version
[1] Behold, a king H4428 shall reign H4427 in righteousness, H6664 and princes H8269 shall rule H8323 in judgment. H4941 [2] And a man H376 shall be as an hiding place H4224 from the wind, H7307 and a covert H5643 from the tempest; H2230 as rivers H6388 of water H4325 in a dry place, H6724 as the shadow H6738 of a great H3515§ rock H5553 in a weary H5889 land. H776 [3] And the eyes H5869 of them that see H7200 shall H8159 not H3808 be dim, H8159 and the ears H241 of them that hear H8085 shall hearken. H7181 [4] The heart H3824 also of the rash H4116§ shall understand H995 knowledge, H1847 and the tongue H3956 of the stammerers H5926 shall be ready H4116 to speak H1696 plainly. H6703§ [5] The vile person H5036 shall be no more called H7121 liberal, H5081 nor the churl H3596 said H559 to be bountiful. H7771 [6] For H3588 the vile person H5036 will speak H1696 villany, H5039 and his heart H3820 will work H6213 iniquity, H205 to practise H6213 hypocrisy, H2612 and to utter H1696 error H8442 against the Lord, H3068 to make empty H7324 the soul H5315 of the hungry, H7457 and he will cause the drink H4945 of the thirsty H6771 to fail. H2637 [7] The instruments H3627 also of the churl H3596 are evil: H7451 he deviseth H3289 wicked devices H2154 to destroy H2254 the poor H6041 H6035 with lying H8267 words, H561 even when the needy H34 speaketh H1696 right. H4941§ [8] But the liberal H5081 deviseth H3289 liberal things; H5081 and by liberal things H5081 shall he stand. H6965§

Women of Jerusalem

[9] Rise up, H6965 ye women H802 that are at ease; H7600 hear H8085 my voice, H6963 ye careless H982 daughters; H1323 give ear H238 unto my speech. H565 [10] Many days H3117 and years H8141§ shall ye be troubled, H7264 ye careless women: H982 for H3588 the vintage H1210 shall fail, H3615 the gathering H625 shall not come. H935 [11] Tremble, H2729 ye women that are at ease; H7600 be troubled, H7264 ye careless ones: H982 strip H6584 you, and make you bare, H6209 and gird H2290 sackcloth upon your loins. H2504 [12] They shall lament H5594 for the teats, H7699 for the pleasant H2531 fields, H7704§ for the fruitful H6509 vine. H1612 [13] Upon H5921 the land H127 of my people H5971 shall come up H5927 thorns H6975 and briers; H8068 yea, upon all the houses H1004 of joy H4885 in the joyous H5947 city: H7151 [14] because H3588 the palaces H759 shall be forsaken; H5203 the multitude H1995 of the city H5892 shall be left; H5800 the forts H6076 and towers H975§ shall be for dens H4631 for H5704 ever, H5769 a joy H4885 of wild asses, H6501 a pasture H4829 of flocks; H5739 [15] until H5704 the spirit H7307 be poured H6168 upon H5921 us from on high, H4791 and the wilderness H4057 be a fruitful field, H3759 and the fruitful field H3759 be counted H2803 for a forest. H3293 [16] Then judgment H4941 shall dwell H7931 in the wilderness, H4057 and righteousness H6666 remain H3427 in the fruitful field. H3759 [17] And the work H4639 of righteousness H6666 shall be peace; H7965 and the effect H5656 of righteousness H6666 quietness H8252 and assurance H983 for H5704 ever. H5769 [18] And my people H5971 shall dwell H3427 in a peaceable H7965 habitation, H5116 and in sure H4009 dwellings, H4908 and in quiet H7600 resting places; H4496 [19] when it shall hail, H1258 coming down H3381 on the forest; H3293 and the city H5892 shall be low H8213 in a low place. H8218 [20] Blessed H835 are ye that sow H2232 beside all waters, H4325 that send forth H7971 thither the feet H7272 of the ox H7794 and the ass. H2543
