A King Will Reign in Righteousness

32 Behold, (A)a king will reign in righteousness,
    and princes will rule in justice.
(B)Each will be like a hiding place from the wind,
    a shelter from the storm,
(C)like streams of water in a dry place,
    like the shade of a great rock in a weary land.
(D)Then the eyes of those who see will not be closed,
    and the ears of those who hear will give attention.
The heart of the hasty will understand and know,
    (E)and the tongue of the stammerers will hasten to speak distinctly.
(F)The fool will no more be called noble,
    nor the scoundrel said to be honorable.
For (G)the fool speaks folly,
    and his heart is busy with iniquity,
to practice ungodliness,
    to utter error concerning the Lord,
(H)to leave the craving of the hungry unsatisfied,
    and to deprive the thirsty of drink.
As for the scoundrel—(I)his devices are evil;
    he plans wicked schemes
to ruin the poor with lying words,
    even when the plea of the needy is right.
But he who is noble plans noble things,
    and on noble things he stands.
