KJV ¹ Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.

WLC ¹ הֵ֥ן לְצֶ֖דֶק יִמְלָךְ־ מֶ֑לֶךְ וּלְשָׂרִ֖ים לְמִשְׁפָּ֥ט יָשֹֽׂרוּ׃

KJV ² And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.

WLC ² וְהָיָה־ אִ֥ישׁ כְּמַֽחֲבֵא־ ר֖וּחַ וְסֵ֣תֶר זָ֑רֶם כְּפַלְגֵי־ מַ֣יִם בְּצָי֔וֹן כְּצֵ֥ל סֶֽלַע־ כָּבֵ֖ד בְּאֶ֥רֶץ עֲיֵפָֽה׃

KJV ³ And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken.

WLC ³ וְלֹ֥א תִשְׁעֶ֖ינָה עֵינֵ֣י רֹאִ֑ים וְאָזְנֵ֥י שֹׁמְעִ֖ים תִּקְשַֽׁבְנָה׃

KJV ⁴ The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.

WLC ⁴ וּלְבַ֥ב נִמְהָרִ֖ים יָבִ֣ין לָדָ֑עַת וּלְשׁ֣וֹן עִלְּגִ֔ים תְּמַהֵ֖ר לְדַבֵּ֥ר צָחֽוֹת׃

KJV ⁵ The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful.

WLC ⁵ לֹֽא־ יִקָּרֵ֥א ע֛וֹד לְנָבָ֖ל נָדִ֑יב וּלְכִילַ֕י לֹ֥א יֵֽאָמֵ֖ר שֽׁוֹעַ׃

KJV ⁶ For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.

WLC ⁶ כִּ֤י נָבָל֙ נְבָלָ֣ה יְדַבֵּ֔ר וְלִבּ֖וֹ יַעֲשֶׂה־ אָ֑וֶן לַעֲשׂ֣וֹת חֹ֗נֶף וּלְדַבֵּ֤ר אֶל־ יְהוָה֙ תּוֹעָ֔ה לְהָרִיק֙ נֶ֣פֶשׁ רָעֵ֔ב וּמַשְׁקֶ֥ה צָמֵ֖א יַחְסִֽיר׃

KJV ⁷ The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.

WLC ⁷ וְכֵלַ֖י כֵּלָ֣יו רָעִ֑ים ה֚וּא זִמּ֣וֹת יָעָ֔ץ לְחַבֵּ֤ל בְּאִמְרֵי־ שֶׁ֔קֶר וּבְדַבֵּ֥ר אֶבְי֖וֹן מִשְׁפָּֽט׃

KJV ⁸ But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.

WLC ⁸ וְנָדִ֖יב נְדִיב֣וֹת יָעָ֑ץ וְה֖וּא עַל־ נְדִיב֥וֹת יָקֽוּם׃

KJV ⁹ Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech.

WLC ⁹ נָשִׁים֙ שַֽׁאֲנַנּ֔וֹת קֹ֖מְנָה שְׁמַ֣עְנָה קוֹלִ֑י בָּנוֹת֙ בֹּֽטח֔וֹת הַאְזֵ֖נָּה אִמְרָתִֽי׃

KJV ¹⁰ Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.

WLC ¹⁰ יָמִים֙ עַל־ שָׁנָ֔ה תִּרְגַּ֖זְנָה בֹּֽטְח֑וֹת כִּ֚י כָּלָ֣ה בָצִ֔יר אֹ֖סֶף בְּלִ֥י יָבֽוֹא׃

KJV ¹¹ Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins.

WLC ¹¹ חִרְדוּ֙ שַֽׁאֲנַנּ֔וֹת רְגָ֖זָה בֹּֽטְח֑וֹת פְּשֹׁ֣טָֽה וְעֹ֔רָה וַחֲג֖וֹרָה עַל־ חֲלָצָֽיִם׃

KJV ¹² They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.

WLC ¹² עַל־ שָׁדַ֖יִם סֹֽפְדִ֑ים עַל־ שְׂדֵי־ חֶ֕מֶד עַל־ גֶּ֖פֶן פֹּרִיָּֽה׃

KJV ¹³ Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city:

WLC ¹³ עַ֚ל אַדְמַ֣ת עַמִּ֔י ק֥וֹץ שָׁמִ֖יר תַּֽעֲלֶ֑ה כִּ֚י עַל־ כָּל־ בָּתֵּ֣י מָשׂ֔וֹשׂ קִרְיָ֖ה עַלִּיזָֽה׃

KJV ¹⁴ Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;

WLC ¹⁴ כִּֽי־ אַרְמ֣וֹן נֻטָּ֔שׁ הֲמ֥וֹן עִ֖יר עֻזָּ֑ב עֹ֣פֶל וָבַ֜חַן הָיָ֨ה בְעַ֤ד מְעָרוֹת֙ עַד־ עוֹלָ֔ם מְשׂ֥וֹשׂ פְּרָאִ֖ים מִרְעֵ֥ה עֲדָרִֽים׃

KJV ¹⁵ Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.

WLC ¹⁵ עַד־ יֵ֨עָרֶ֥ה עָלֵ֛ינוּ ר֖וּחַ מִמָּר֑וֹם וְהָיָ֤ה מִדְבָּר֙ לַכַּרְמֶ֔ל לַיַּ֥עַר יֵחָשֵֽׁב׃

KJV ¹⁶ Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.

WLC ¹⁶ וְשָׁכַ֥ן בַּמִּדְבָּ֖ר מִשְׁפָּ֑ט וּצְדָקָ֖ה בַּכַּרְמֶ֥ל תֵּשֵֽׁב׃

KJV ¹⁷ And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

WLC ¹⁷ וְהָיָ֛ה מַעֲשֵׂ֥ה הַצְּדָקָ֖ה שָׁל֑וֹם וַֽעֲבֹדַת֙ הַצְּדָקָ֔ה הַשְׁקֵ֥ט וָבֶ֖טַח עַד־ עוֹלָֽם׃

KJV ¹⁸ And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;

WLC ¹⁸ וְיָשַׁ֥ב עַמִּ֖י בִּנְוֵ֣ה שָׁל֑וֹם וּֽבְמִשְׁכְּנוֹת֙ מִבְטַחִ֔ים וּבִמְנוּחֹ֖ת שַׁאֲנַנּֽוֹת׃

KJV ¹⁹ When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.

WLC ¹⁹ וּבָרַ֖ד בְּרֶ֣דֶת הַיָּ֑עַר וּבַשִּׁפְלָ֖ה תִּשְׁפַּ֥ל הָעִֽיר׃

KJV ²⁰ Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass.

WLC ²⁰ אַשְׁרֵיכֶ֕ם זֹרְעֵ֖י עַל־ כָּל־ מָ֑יִם מְשַׁלְּחֵ֥י רֶֽגֶל־ הַשּׁ֖וֹר וְהַחֲמֽוֹר׃
