Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.
1 HE aquí que en justicia reinará un rey, y príncipes presidirán en juicio.
1 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in justice.
2 And a man shall be as a hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from the storm; as brooks of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land.
2 Y será aquel varón como escondedero contra el viento, y como acogida contra el turbión; como arroyos de aguas en tierra de sequedad, como sombra de gran peñasco en tierra calurosa.
2 A man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the storm, as streams of water in a dry place, as the shade of a large rock in a weary land.
3 And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken;
3 No se ofuscarán entonces los ojos de los que ven, y los oídos de los oyentes oirán atentos.
3 The eyes of those who see will not be dim, and the ears of those who hear will listen.
4 and the heart of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
4 Y el corazón de los necios entenderá para saber, y la lengua de los tartamudos será desenvuelta para hablar claramente.
4 The heart of the rash will understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly.
5 The vile man shall be no more called noble, nor the churl said to be bountiful:
5 El mezquino nunca más será llamado liberal, ni será dicho generoso el avariento.
5 The fool will no longer be called noble, nor the scoundrel be highly respected.
6 for the vile man will speak villainy, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against Jehovah, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
6 Porque el mezquino hablará mezquindades, y su corazón fabricará iniquidad, para hacer la impiedad y para hablar escarnio contra Jehová, dejando vacía el alma hambrienta, y quitando la bebida al sediento.
6 For the fool will speak folly, and his heart will work iniquity, to practice profanity, and to utter error against Yahweh, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7 The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the meek with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.
7 Cierto los avaros malas medidas [tienen]: él maquina pensamientos para enredar á los simples con palabras cautelosas, y para hablar en juicio [contra] el pobre.
7 The ways of the scoundrel are evil. He devises wicked plans to destroy the humble with lying words, even when the needy speaks right.
8 But the noble deviseth noble things; and to noble things doth he stand.
8 Mas el liberal pensará liberalidades, y por liberalidades subirá.
8 But the noble devises noble things, and he will continue in noble things.
9 Rise up, ye women that are at ease, hear my voice; ye careless daughters, give ear unto my speech.
9 Mujeres reposadas, levantaos, oid mi voz; confiadas, escuchad mi razón.
9 Rise up, you women who are at ease! Hear my voice! You careless daughters, give ear to my speech!
10 In a year and [some] days shall ye be troubled, ye careless women; for the vintage shall fail, the ingathering shall not come.
10 Días y años tendréis espanto, oh confiadas; porque la vendimia faltará, y la cosecha no acudirá.
10 For days beyond a year you will be troubled, you careless women; for the vintage will fail. The harvest won’t come.
11 Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones; strip you, and make you bare, and gird [sackcloth] on your loins!
11 Temblad, oh reposadas; turbaos, oh confiadas: despojaos, desnudaos, ceñid los lomos [con saco].
11 Tremble, you women who are at ease! Be troubled, you careless ones! Strip yourselves, make yourselves naked, and put sackcloth on your waist.
12 They shall smite on the breasts [in lamentation] for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vineyards.
12 Sobre los pechos lamentarán por los campos deleitosos, por la vid fértil.
12 Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
13 Upon the land of my people shall come up thistles [and] briars, yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city.
13 Sobre la tierra de mi pueblo subirán espinas y cardos; y aun sobre todas las casas de placer en la ciudad de alegría.
13 Thorns and briers will come up on my people’s land; yes, on all the houses of joy in the joyous city.
14 For the palace shall be deserted, the multitude of the city shall be forsaken; hill and watchtower shall be caves for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
14 Porque los palacios serán desiertos, la multitud de la ciudad cesará: las torres y fortalezas se tornarán cuevas para siempre, donde huelguen asnos monteses, y ganados hagan majada:
14 For the palace will be forsaken. The populous city will be deserted. The hill and the watchtower will be for dens forever, a delight for wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks,
15 until the Spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness become a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.
15 Hasta que sobre nosotros sea derramado espíritu de lo alto, y el desierto se torne en campo labrado, y el campo labrado sea estimado por bosque.
15 until the Spirit is poured on us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is considered a forest.
16 And judgment shall inhabit the wilderness, and righteousness dwell in the fruitful field.
16 Y habitará el juicio en el desierto, y en el campo labrado asentará la justicia.
16 Then justice will dwell in the wilderness; and righteousness will remain in the fruitful field.
17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance for ever.
17 Y el efecto de la justicia será paz; y la labor de justicia, reposo y seguridad para siempre.
17 The work of righteousness will be peace, and the effect of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.
18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting-places.
18 Y mi pueblo habitará en morada de paz, y en habitaciones seguras, y en recreos de reposo.
18 My people will live in a peaceful habitation, in safe dwellings, and in quiet resting places,
19 And it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.
19 Y el granizo, cuando descendiere, [será] en los montes; y la ciudad será del todo abatida.
19 though hail flattens the forest, and the city is leveled completely.
20 Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth the feet of the ox and the ass.
20 Dichosos vosotros los que sembráis sobre todas aguas, y metéis [en ellas] el pie de buey y de asno.
20 Blessed are you who sow beside all waters, who send out the feet of the ox and the donkey.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Behold, a righteous king shall reign, and princes shall rule with judgment." And with regard to the foundation on which it shall be rebuilt, he says: "Behold, I will lay in order for thee a carbuncle stone, and sapphire for thy foundations; and I will lay thy ramparts with jasper, and thy gates with crystal, and thy wall with choice …
