Bible Chapter Summary
Isaiah 32 Summary
A righteous king shall reign
A king shall reign in righteousness and princes in judgment. A man shall be a shelter from the wind and heat. The eyes of those who see shall not be dim; the ears of those who hear shall hearken. The rash shall understand knowledge, and the stammerer shall speak plainly. The vile shall be exposed in their villainy, while the liberal shall devise liberal things. Isaiah calls careless women to tremble, warning that they shall be troubled when the vintage fails. Yet when the spirit is poured from on high, the wilderness shall become fruitful, and righteousness shall dwell in judgment, bringing peace and quiet resting places forever.
