The Kingdom of Righteousness
+
===The Kingdom of Righteousness===
 +
 
 +
1.  See, a king will reign in righteousness
 +
::and rulers will rule with justice.
 +
 
 +
2.  Each one will be like a shelter from the wind
 +
::and a refuge from the storm,
 +
::like streams of water in the desert
 +
::and the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land.
 +
 
 +
3.  Then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed,
 +
::and the ears of those who hear will listen.
 +
 
 +
4.  The fearful heart will know and understand,
 +
::and the stammering tongue will be fluent and clear.
 +
 
 +
5.  No longer will the fool be called noble
 +
::nor the scoundrel be highly respected.
 +
 
 +
6.  For fools speak folly,
 +
::their hearts are bent on evil:
 +
::They practice ungodliness
 +
::and spread error concerning the Lord;
 +
::the hungry they leave empty
 +
::and from the thirsty they withhold water.
 +
 
 +
7.  Scoundrels use wicked methods,
 +
::they make up evil schemes
 +
::to destroy the poor with lies,
 +
::even when the plea of the needy is just.
 +
 
 +
8.  But the noble make noble plans,
 +
::and by noble deeds they stand.
 +
 
 +
===The Women of Jerusalem===
 +
 
 +
9.  You women who are so complacent,
 +
::rise up and listen to me;
 +
::you daughters who feel secure,
 +
::hear what I have to say!
 +
 
 +
10.  In little more than a year
 +
::you who feel secure will tremble;
 +
::the grape harvest will fail,
 +
::and the harvest of fruit will not come.
 +
 
 +
11.  Tremble, you complacent women;
 +
::shudder, you daughters who feel secure!
 +
::Strip off your fine clothes
 +
::and wrap yourselves in rags.
 +
 
 +
12.  Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields,
 +
::for the fruitful vines
 +
 
 +
13.  and for the land of my people,
 +
::a land overgrown with thorns and briers—
 +
::yes, mourn for all houses of merriment
 +
::and for this city of revelry.
 +
 
 +
14.  The fortress will be abandoned,
 +
::the noisy city deserted;
 +
::citadel and watchtower will become a wasteland forever,
 +
::the delight of donkeys, a pasture for flocks,
 +
 
 +
15. till the Spirit is poured on us from on high,
 +
::and the desert becomes a fertile field,
 +
::and the fertile field seems like a forest.
 +
 
 +
16.  The Lord’s justice will dwell in the desert,
 +
::his righteousness live in the fertile field.
 +
 
 +
17.  The fruit of that righteousness will be peace;
 +
::its effect will be quietness and confidence forever.
 +
 
 +
18.  My people will live in peaceful dwelling places,
 +
::in secure homes,
 +
::in undisturbed places of rest.
 +
 
 +
19.  Though hail flattens the forest
 +
::and the city is leveled completely,
 +
 
 +
20.  how blessed you will be,
 +
::sowing your seed by every stream,
 +
::and letting your cattle and donkeys range free.
