A King Reigns in Righteousness

Isaiah anticipates a righteous king whose rule brings clarity, protection, justice, and transformed understanding.

PRIMARY PROPHECY

Isaiah 32:1–4

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

2And 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.

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

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