¹ See, a king will rule according to righteousness,
    and princes will rule according to justice.
² And each one will be like a hiding place from the wind
    and a covering from the rainstorm,
like streams of water in a dry region,
    like the shade of a large rock in a weary land.
³ And the eyes of those who see will not gaze,^[a]
    and the ears of those who hear will listen.
⁴ And the minds^[b] of the rash will understand knowledge,^[c]
    and the tongues^[d] of stammerers will hasten to speak clearly.
⁵ A fool will no longer be called noble,
    and a scoundrel will not be said to be eminent.
⁶ For a fool speaks folly,
    and his mind^[e] does iniquity:
to behave wickedly,^[f]
    and to speak error concerning Yahweh,
to leave the throat of the hungry empty,
    and he deprives the thirsty of drink.
⁷ And a scoundrel, his weapons are evil;
    he plans evil devices
to ruin the poor with words of deception
    even^[g] when the speech of the needy is right.
⁸ But^[h] the nobleman plans noble things,
    and he stands upon noble things.

⁹ Women who are at ease, rise up; hear my voice!
    Carefree daughters, listen to my word!

for the vintage will come to an end;
    the harvest will not come.
¹¹ Tremble, you who are at ease;
    tremble, carefree ones;
strip, and strip yourself,
    and gird yourself on your loins,^[j]
12 mourning over breasts,
    over fields of delight,
over the fruitful vine,
¹³     over the soil of my people.
It goes up in thorns^[k] and briers,^[l]
    indeed over all of the houses of joy in the jubilant city.
¹⁴ For the palace will be forsaken,
    the crowded city^[m] deserted;
the hill and the watchtower will become^[n] a cave forever,
    the joy of wild asses, a pasture for^[o] flocks.

and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field,
    and the fruitful field is reckoned as the forest.
¹⁶ Then^[p] justice will dwell in the wilderness,
    and righteousness will live in the fruitful field.
¹⁷ And the work of righteousness will be peace,
    and the work of righteousness, quietness and security forever.
¹⁸ And my people will dwell in a settlement of peace
    and in a dwelling place of security
    and in undisturbed resting places.
¹⁹ And it hails when the forest comes down,^[q]
    and the city will become low in humiliation.
²⁰ Happy are you who sow by all waters,
    who let the foot of the ox and the donkey go free.
