Isaiah 32:1-3
New English Translation
Justice and Wisdom Will Prevail
32 Look, a king will promote fairness;[a]
officials will promote justice.[b]
2 Each of them[c] will be like a shelter from the wind
and a refuge from a rainstorm;
like streams of water in a dry region
and like the shade of a large cliff in a parched land.
3 Eyes[d] will no longer be blind[e]
and ears[f] will be attentive.
Footnotes
- Isaiah 32:1 tn Heb “will reign according to fairness.”
- Isaiah 32:1 tn Heb “will rule according to justice.”
- Isaiah 32:2 tn Heb “a man,” but אִישׁ (ʾish) probably refers here to “each” of the officials mentioned in the previous verse.
- Isaiah 32:3 tn Heb “Eyes that see.”
- Isaiah 32:3 tn The Hebrew text as vocalized reads literally “will not gaze,” but this is contradictory to the context. The verb form should be revocalized as תְּשֹׁעֶינָה (teshoʿenah) from שָׁעַע (shʿaʿa, “be blinded”); see Isa 6:10; 29:9.
- Isaiah 32:3 tn Heb “ears that hear.”
