|
|
Isaiah 32:2
|
JPS
| 32:2
| And a man shall be as in a hiding-place from the wind,
And a covert from the tempest;
As by the watercourses in a dry place,
As in the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
|
TJBU
| 32:2
| And the just that were hidden because of the wicked, as those who hide themselves on account of a storm, shall return, and shall be magnified, and their instruction shall be received quickly, like the waters that flow into a dry land, like the shadow of a great rock in a parched land.

|
|
Isaiah 32:6
|
JPS
| 32:6
| For the vile person will speak villainy,
And his heart will work iniquity,
To practise ungodliness, and to utter wickedness against the LORD,
To make empty the soul of the hungry,
And to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
|
TJBU
| 32:6
| For the wicked will talk wickedness, and in their heart they meditate violence, to practise falsehood, and to speak revolt against the Lord, to weary the soul of the righteous, who long after instruction, as the hungry after bread; and after the words of the law, which are like water to him that is athirst, they purpose to make to cease.

|
|

| Tremble, ye women that are at ease;
Be troubled, ye confident ones;
Strip you, and make you bare,
And gird sackcloth upon your loins,
|

|
|
Isaiah 32:14
|
JPS
| 32:14
| For the palace shall be forsaken;
The city with its stir shall be deserted;
The mound and the tower shall be for dens for ever,
A joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
|
TJBU
| 32:14
| For the house of the sanctuary shall be laid waste; the noisy city shall be desolate, in which they worship: the house of our strength and hiding place shall be searched out, dug up, desolate and waste unto a time. The place which was a house of joy and gladness for kings is now become a spoil for armies.
|
|
