Israel’s Ultimate Deliverance

¹Look, a righteous king is coming! And honest princes will rule under him.

²Each one will be like a shelter from the wind and a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in the desert and the shadow of a great rock in a parched land.

³Then everyone who has eyes will be able to see the truth, and everyone who has ears will be able to hear it.

⁴Even the hotheads will be full of sense and understanding. Those who stammer will speak out plainly.

⁵In that day ungodly fools will not be heroes. Scoundrels will not be respected.

⁶For fools speak foolishness and make evil plans. They practice ungodliness and spread false teachings about the Lord. They deprive the hungry of food and give no water to the thirsty.

⁷The smooth tricks of scoundrels are evil. They plot crooked schemes. They lie to convict the poor, even when the cause of the poor is just.

⁸But generous people plan to do what is generous, and they stand firm in their generosity.
