Wycliffe - Isaiah - 32

32:1  Lo! the kyng schal regne in riytfulnesse, and princes schulen be souereyns in doom.

32:2  And a man schal be, as he that is hid fro wynd, and hidith hym silf fro tempest; as stremes of watris in thirst, and the schadewe of a stoon stondynge fer out in a desert lond.

32:3  The iyen of profetis schulen not dasewe, and the eeris of heereris schulen herke diligentli;

32:4  and the herte of foolis schal vndurstonde kunnyng, and the tunge of stuttynge men schal speke swiftli, and pleynli.

32:5  He that is vnwijs, schal no more be clepid prince, and a gileful man schal not be clepid the grettere.

32:6  Forsothe a fool shal speke foli thingis, and his herte schal do wickidnesse, that he performe feynyng, and speke to the Lord gilefuli; and he schal make voide the soule of an hungry man, and schal take awei drynke fro a thirsti man.

32:7  The vessels of a gileful man ben worste; for he schal make redi thouytis to leese mylde men in the word of a leesyng, whanne a pore man spak doom.

32:8  Forsothe a prince schal thenke tho thingis that ben worthi to a prince, and he schal stonde ouer duykis.

32:9  Riche wymmen, rise ye, and here my vois; douytris tristynge, perseyue ye with eeris my speche.

32:10  For whi aftir daies and a yeer, and ye that tristen schulen be disturblid; for whi vyndage is endid, gaderyng schal no more come.

32:11  Ye riche wymmen, be astonyed; ye that tristen, be disturblid; vnclothe ye you, and be ye aschamed;

32:12  girde youre leendis; weile ye on brestis, on desirable cuntrei, on the plenteuouse vyner.

32:13  Thornes and breris schulen stie on the erthe of my puple; hou myche more on alle the housis of ioie of the citee makynge ful out ioie?

32:14  For whi the hous is left, the multitude of the citee is forsakun; derknessis and gropyng ben maad on dennes, `til in to with outen ende. The ioie of wield assis is the lesewe of flockis;

32:15  til the spirit be sched out on us fro an hiy, and the desert schal be in to Chermel, and Chermel schal be arettid in to a forest.

32:16  And doom schal dwelle in wildirnesse, and riytfulnesse schal sitte in Chermel;

32:17  and the werk of riytfulnesse schal be pees, and the tilthe of riytfulnesse schal be stilnesse and sikirnesse, `til in to with outen ende.

32:18  And my puple schal sitte in the fairnesse of pees, and in the tabernaclis of trist, and in riche reste.

32:19  But hail schal be in the coming doun of the foreste, and bi lownesse the citee schal be maad low.

32:20  Blessid ben ye, that sowen on alle watris, and putten yn the foot of an oxe and of an asse.
