Isaiah 32:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
32 The conditions of good rulers and officers describeth by the government of Hezekiah, who was the figure of Christ.
1 Behold, [a]a King shall reign in justice, and the princes shall [b]rule in judgment.
2 And that man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and as a refuge for the tempest, as rivers of water in a dry place, and as the shadow of a great rock in [c]a weary land.
3 The eyes of [d]the seeing shall not be shut, and the ears of them that hear, shall hearken.
