Commentary on Isaiah Volume 1 John Calvin
Chapter
Isaiah 32:1-20 1. Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgement.
1. Ecce in justitia regnabit rex, et principes in judicio præerunt. 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.
2. Et erit ille vir velut latibulum a vento, receptus ab imbre, rivi aquarum in terra arida, umbra magnæ rupis in terra laboriosa.
3. And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim; and the ears of them that hear shall hearken.
3. Tunc non oblinentur oculi videntium, et aures audientium auscultabunt.
4. The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
4. Et cor stultorum intentum erit ad scientiam, et lingua balborum expedita erit ad loquendum diserte.
5. The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful.
5. Non vocabitur amplius sordidus liberalis, neque parcus dicetur largus. 6. For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practice 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.
6. Quoniam sordidus loquetur sordes, et cor ejus machinabitur iniquitatem, ad designandam pravitatem, ut proferat subsannationem contra Iehovam, exinaniat animam famelicam, et potum sitienti subtrahat.
