New Testament

Yeshayah 32:1-6 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

1. See, a Melech shall reign in tzedek, and sarim shall rule in mishpat (justice).

2. And an ish shall be as a sheltering hiding place from the ruach (wind), and a seter (refuge) from the tempest; as streams of mayim in a dry place, as the tzel (shadow) of a great rock in a weary land.

3. And the eynayim of them that see shall no longer be closed, and the oznayim of them that hear shall pay heed.

4. The levav also of the rash shall understand da'as, and the lashon of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.

5. The naval (foolish person) shall be no more called noble, nor the scoundrel said to be honorable.

6. For the naval will speak foolishness, and his lev will work evil, to practise khonef (hypocrisy), and to utter to'ah (error, perversity) against Hashem, to leave unsatisfied the nefesh of the ra'av (hungry), and he will cause the drink of the tzameh (thirsty) to fail.
