¹ Lo! the king shall reign in rightfulness, and the princes shall be sovereigns in doom.

² And a man shall be, as he that is hid from [the] wind, and hideth himself from tempest; as streams of waters in thirst, and the shadow of a stone standing far out in a desert land.

³ The eyes of seers, that is, prophets, shall not dim, and the ears of hearers shall hearken diligently;

⁴ and the heart of fools shall understand knowing, and the tongue of stuttering men shall speak swiftly, and plainly.

⁵ He that is unwise shall no more be called prince, and a guileful man shall not be called the greater.

⁶ Forsooth a fool shall speak folly things, and his heart shall do wicked-ness, that he perform feigning, and speak to the Lord guilefully; and he shall make void the soul of an hungry man, and shall take away drink from a thirsty man.

⁷ The vessels of a guileful man be worst; for he shall make ready thoughts to lose mild men in the word of a lie, when a poor man spake doom.

⁸ Forsooth a prince shall think those things that be worthy to a prince, and he shall stand over dukes.

⁹ Rich women, rise ye, and hear my voice; daughters trusting, perceive ye with ears my speech.

¹⁰ For why after days and a year, and ye that trust shall be troubled; for why [the] vintage is ended, gathering shall no more come.

¹¹ Ye rich women, be astonied; ye that trust, be troubled; unclothe ye you, and be ye ashamed; gird your loins;

¹² wail ye on breasts, on the desirable country, on the plenteous vinery [or vineyard].

¹³ Thorns and briars shall ascend [or go up] on the earth of my people; how much more on all the houses of joy of the city making full out joy?

¹⁴ For why the house is left, the multitude of the city is forsaken; darknesses and groping be made on [the] dens, till into without end. The joy of wild asses is the pasture of flocks;

¹⁵ till the spirit be shed [or poured] out on us from on high, and the desert shall be into Carmel, and Carmel shall be areckoned into a forest.

¹⁶ And doom shall dwell in wilder-ness, and rightfulness [or rightwiseness] shall sit in Carmel;

¹⁷ and the work of rightfulness [or rightwiseness] shall be peace, and the tilth of rightfulness [or rightwiseness] shall be stillness and secureness, till into without end.

¹⁸ And my people shall sit in the fairness of peace, and in the tabernacles of trust, and in rich rest.

¹⁹ But hail shall be in the coming down of the forest, and by lowness the city shall be made low.

²⁰ Blessed be ye, that sow on all waters, and send in the foot of an ox and of an ass.
