Bible. Isaiah
23:031:007 For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver,
and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you
for a sin.
23:031:008 Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty
man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but
he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be
discomfited.
23:031:009 And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his
princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the LORD, whose
fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
23:032:001 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall
rule in judgment.
23:032:002 And a man shall be as an 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.
23:032:003 And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears
of them that hear shall hearken.
23:032:004 The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the
tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
23:032:005 The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl
said to be bountiful.
23:032:006 For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will
work iniquity, to practise 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.
23:032:007 The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked
devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the
needy speaketh right.
23:032:008 But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things
shall he stand.
23:032:009 Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless
daughters; give ear unto my speech.
23:032:010 Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women:
for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.
23:032:011 Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless
ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon
your loins.
23:032:012 They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields, for
the fruitful vine.
23:032:013 Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers;
yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city:
23:032:014 Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the
city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for
ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
23:032:015 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.
23:032:016 Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness
remain in the fruitful field.
