1Indeed, a king will reign righteously, and rulers will rule justly. 1הֵ֥ן לְצֶ֖דֶק יִמְלָךְ־ מֶ֑לֶךְ וּלְשָׂרִ֖ים לְמִשְׁפָּ֥ט יָשֹֽׂרוּ׃
2Each will be like a shelter from the wind, a refuge from the rain, like streams of water in a dry land and the shade of a massive rock in an arid land. 2וְהָיָה־ אִ֥ישׁ כְּמַֽחֲבֵא־ ר֖וּחַ וְסֵ֣תֶר זָ֑רֶם כְּפַלְגֵי־ מַ֣יִם בְּצָי֔וֹן כְּצֵ֥ל סֶֽלַע־ כָּבֵ֖ד בְּאֶ֥רֶץ עֲיֵפָֽה׃
3Then the eyes of those who see will not be closed, and the ears of those who hear will listen. 3וְלֹ֥א תִשְׁעֶ֖ינָה עֵינֵ֣י רֹאִ֑ים וְאָזְנֵ֥י שֹׁמְעִ֖ים תִּקְשַֽׁבְנָה׃
4The reckless mind will gain knowledge, and the stammering tongue will speak clearly and fluently. 4וּלְבַ֥ב נִמְהָרִ֖ים יָבִ֣ין לָדָ֑עַת וּלְשׁ֣וֹן עִלְּגִ֔ים תְּמַהֵ֖ר לְדַבֵּ֥ר צָחֽוֹת׃
5A fool will no longer be called a noble, nor a scoundrel said to be important. 5לֹֽא־ יִקָּרֵ֥א ע֛וֹד לְנָבָ֖ל נָדִ֑יב וּלְכִילַ֕י לֹ֥א יֵֽאָמֵ֖ר שֽׁוֹעַ׃
6For a fool speaks foolishness and his mind plots iniquity. He lives in a godless way and speaks falsely about the LORD. He leaves the hungry empty and deprives the thirsty of drink. 6כִּ֤י נָבָל֙ נְבָלָ֣ה יְדַבֵּ֔ר וְלִבּ֖וֹ יַעֲשֶׂה־ אָ֑וֶן לַעֲשׂ֣וֹת חֹ֗נֶף וּלְדַבֵּ֤ר אֶל־ יְהוָה֙ תּוֹעָ֔ה לְהָרִיק֙ נֶ֣פֶשׁ רָעֵ֔ב וּמַשְׁקֶ֥ה צָמֵ֖א יַחְסִֽיר׃
7The scoundrel's weapons are destructive; he hatches plots to destroy the needy with lies, even when the poor says what is right. 7וְכֵלַ֖י כֵּלָ֣יו רָעִ֑ים ה֚וּא זִמּ֣וֹת יָעָ֔ץ לְחַבֵּ֤ל [ענוים] (עֲנִיִּים֙) בְּאִמְרֵי־ שֶׁ֔קֶר וּבְדַבֵּ֥ר אֶבְי֖וֹן מִשְׁפָּֽט׃
8But a noble person plans noble things; he stands up for noble causes. 8וְנָדִ֖יב נְדִיב֣וֹת יָעָ֑ץ וְה֖וּא עַל־ נְדִיב֥וֹת יָקֽוּם׃ פ
9Stand up, you complacent women; listen to me. Pay attention to what I say, you overconfident daughters. 9נָשִׁים֙ שַֽׁאֲנַנּ֔וֹת קֹ֖מְנָה שְׁמַ֣עְנָה קוֹלִ֑י בָּנוֹת֙ בֹּֽטח֔וֹת הַאְזֵ֖נָּה אִמְרָתִֽי׃
10In a little more than a year you overconfident ones will shudder, for the vintage will fail and the harvest will not come. 10יָמִים֙ עַל־ שָׁנָ֔ה תִּרְגַּ֖זְנָה בֹּֽטְח֑וֹת כִּ֚י כָּלָ֣ה בָצִ֔יר אֹ֖סֶף בְּלִ֥י יָבֽוֹא׃
11Shudder, you complacent ones; tremble, you overconfident ones! Strip yourselves bare and put sackcloth around your waists. 11חִרְדוּ֙ שַֽׁאֲנַנּ֔וֹת רְגָ֖זָה בֹּֽטְח֑וֹת פְּשֹׁ֣טָֽה וְעֹ֔רָה וַחֲג֖וֹרָה עַל־ חֲלָצָֽיִם׃
12Beat your breasts in mourning for the delightful fields and the fruitful vines, 12עַל־ שָׁדַ֖יִם סֹֽפְדִ֑ים עַל־ שְׂדֵי־ חֶ֕מֶד עַל־ גֶּ֖פֶן פֹּרִיָּֽה׃
13for the ground of my people growing thorns and briers, indeed, for every joyous house in the joyful city. 13עַ֚ל אַדְמַ֣ת עַמִּ֔י ק֥וֹץ שָׁמִ֖יר תַּֽעֲלֶ֑ה כִּ֚י עַל־ כָּל־ בָּתֵּ֣י מָשׂ֔וֹשׂ קִרְיָ֖ה עַלִּיזָֽה׃
14For the palace will be forsaken, the busy city abandoned. The hill and the watchtower will become barren places forever, the joy of wild donkeys, and a pasture for flocks, 14כִּֽי־ אַרְמ֣וֹן נֻטָּ֔שׁ הֲמ֥וֹן עִ֖יר עֻזָּ֑ב עֹ֣פֶל וָבַ֜חַן הָיָ֨ה בְעַ֤ד מְעָרוֹת֙ עַד־ עוֹלָ֔ם מְשׂ֥וֹשׂ פְּרָאִ֖ים מִרְעֵ֥ה עֲדָרִֽים׃
15until the Spirit from heaven is poured out on us. Then the desert will become an orchard, and the orchard will seem like a forest. 15עַד־ יֵ֨עָרֶ֥ה עָלֵ֛ינוּ ר֖וּחַ מִמָּר֑וֹם וְהָיָ֤ה מִדְבָּר֙ לַכַּרְמֶ֔ל [וכרמל] (וְהַכַּרְמֶ֖ל) לַיַּ֥עַר יֵחָשֵֽׁב׃
16Then justice will inhabit the wilderness, and righteousness will dwell in the orchard. 16וְשָׁכַ֥ן בַּמִּדְבָּ֖ר מִשְׁפָּ֑ט וּצְדָקָ֖ה בַּכַּרְמֶ֥ל תֵּשֵֽׁב׃
17The result of righteousness will be peace; the effect of righteousness will be quiet confidence forever. 17וְהָיָ֛ה מַעֲשֵׂ֥ה הַצְּדָקָ֖ה שָׁל֑וֹם וַֽעֲבֹדַת֙ הַצְּדָקָ֔ה הַשְׁקֵ֥ט וָבֶ֖טַח עַד־ עוֹלָֽם׃
18Then my people will dwell in a peaceful place, in safe and secure dwellings. 18וְיָשַׁ֥ב עַמִּ֖י בִּנְוֵ֣ה שָׁל֑וֹם וּֽבְמִשְׁכְּנוֹת֙ מִבְטַחִ֔ים וּבִמְנוּחֹ֖ת שַׁאֲנַנּֽוֹת׃
19But hail will level the forest, and the city will sink into the depths. 19וּבָרַ֖ד בְּרֶ֣דֶת הַיָּ֑עַר וּבַשִּׁפְלָ֖ה תִּשְׁפַּ֥ל הָעִֽיר׃
20Those who sow seed are happy beside abundant waters; they let ox and donkey range freely. 20אַשְׁרֵיכֶ֕ם זֹרְעֵ֖י עַל־ כָּל־ מָ֑יִם מְשַׁלְּחֵ֥י רֶֽגֶל־ הַשּׁ֖וֹר וְהַחֲמֽוֹר׃ ס
