Chapter 32

1Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, And ministers shall govern with justice;

HEN l'-TSE-dek yim-LOKH me-LEKH u-l'-sa-RIM l'-mish-PAT ya-SO-ru

אהֵ֥ן לְצֶ֖דֶק יִמְלׇךְ־מֶ֑לֶךְ וּלְשָׂרִ֖ים לְמִשְׁפָּ֥ט יָשֹֽׂרוּ׃

2Every one of them shall be Like a refuge from gales, A shelter from rainstorms; Like brooks of water in a desert, Like the shade of a massive rock In a languishing land.

3Then the eyes of those who have sight shall not be sealed, And the ears of those who have hearing shall listen;

4And the minds of the thoughtless shall attend and note, And the tongues of mumblers shall speak with fluent eloquence.

5No more shall a villain be called noble, Nor shall “gentleman” be said of a knave.

6For the villain speaks villainy And plots treachery; To act impiously And to preach disloyalty against Hashem; To leave the hungry unsatisfied And deprive the thirsty of drink.

7As for the knave, his tools are knavish. He forges plots To destroy the poor with falsehoods And the needy when they plead their cause.

8But the noble has noble intentions And is constant in noble acts.

14For the castle shall be abandoned, The noisy city forsaken; Citadel and tower shall become Bare places forever, A stamping ground for wild asses, A pasture for flocks—

15Till a spirit from on high is poured out on us, And wilderness is transformed into farm land, While farm land rates as mere brush.
