CHAP. XXXII.
The conditions of good rulers and officers described by the gouernement
of Hezekiah, who was the figure of Christ.
1 Beholde, note a King shall reigne in iustice, and the
princes shall rule note in iudgement.
2 And that man shall bee as an hiding place
from the winde, and as a refuge for the tempest: as
riuers of water in a drie place, and as the shadowe
of a great rocke in note a weary land.
3 The eyes of note the seeing shal not be shut, and
the eares of them that heare, shall hearken.
4 And the heart of the foolish shall vnderstand
knowledge, and the tongue of the stutters
shalbe ready to speake distinctly.
5 A note nigard shall no more be called liberall,
nor the churle riche.
6 But the nigarde will speake of nigardnesse,
and his heart will worke iniquitie, and do wickedly,
and speake falsely against the Lorde, to make
emptie the hungrie soule, and to cause the drinke
of the thirstie to faile.
7 For the weapons of the churle are wicked:
hee deuiseth wicked counsels, to vndoe the poore
with lying words: and to speake against the poore
in iudgement.
8 But the liberall man will deuise of liberall
things, and he will continue his liberalitie.
9 ¶2; Rise vp, ye women that are at ease: heare
my voyce, ye note carelesse daughters: hearken to my
wordes.
10 Yee women, that are carelesse, shall be in
feare note aboue a yeere in dayes: note for the vintage
shall faile, and the gatherings shall come no more.
11 Yee women, that are at ease, be astonied:
feare, O yee carelesse women: put off the clothes:
make bare, and girde sackcloth vpon the loynes.
12 Men shall lament for the note teates, euen for
the pleasant fieldes, and for the fruitefull vine.
13 Vpon the lande of my people shall growe
thornes and briers: yea, vpon all the houses of
The spoyler spoyled.
ioye in the citie of reioysing,
14 Because the palace shalbe forsaken, and the
note noise of the citie shalbe left: the towre and fortresse
shalbe dennes for euer, & the delite of wilde
asses, and a pasture for flockes,
15 Vntill the note Spirit be powred vpon vs from
aboue, and the wildernes become a fruitfull fielde,
and the note plenteous fielde be counted as a forest.
16 And iudgement shal dwel in the desert, and
iustice shall remaine in the fruitfull fielde.
17 And the worke of iustice shall bee peace,
euen the worke of iustice and quietnesse, and assurance
for euer.
18 And my people shall dwell in the tabernacle
of peace, and in sure dwellings, and in safe resting
places.
19 When it haileth, it shall fall on the forest,
and the note citie shall be set in the lowe place.
20 Blessed are ye note that sowe vpon all waters,
and note driue thither the feete of the oxe & the asse.
