Isaiah 32 Literal Standard Version
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 Behold, a king reigns for righteousness, || As for princes, they rule for judgment.
1 HE aquí que en justicia reinará un rey, y príncipes presidirán en juicio.
2 And each has been as a hiding place [from] wind, || And as a secret hiding place [from] inundation, || As streams of waters in a dry place, || As a shadow of a heavy rock in a weary 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.
3 And the eyes of beholders are not dazzled, || And the ears of hearers attend.
3 No se ofuscarán entonces los ojos de los que ven, y los oídos de los oyentes oirán atentos.
4 And the heart of those hurried understands to know, || And the tongue of stammerers hurries to speak clearly.
4 Y el corazón de los necios entenderá para saber, y la lengua de los tartamudos será desenvuelta para hablar claramente.
5 A fool is no more called “noble,” || And to a miser it is not said, “rich”;
5 El mezquino nunca más será llamado liberal, ni será dicho generoso el avariento.
6 For a fool speaks folly, || And his heart does iniquity, to do profanity, || And to speak error concerning YHWH, || To empty the soul of the hungry, || Indeed, he causes the thirsty to lack [their] drink.
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.
7 And the miser—his instruments [are] evil, || He has counseled wicked schemes, || To corrupt the poor with lying sayings, || Even when the needy speaks justly.
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.
8 And the noble counseled noble things, || And he rises up for noble things.
8 Mas el liberal pensará liberalidades, y por liberalidades subirá.
9 Women, easy ones, rise, hear my voice, || Daughters, confident ones, give ear [to] my saying,
9 Mujeres reposadas, levantaos, oid mi voz; confiadas, escuchad mi razón.
10 In days and a year || You are troubled, O confident ones, || For harvest has been consumed, || The gathering does not come.
10 Días y años tendréis espanto, oh confiadas; porque la vendimia faltará, y la cosecha no acudirá.
11 Tremble, you women, you easy ones, || Be troubled, you confident ones, || Strip and make bare, with a girdle on the loins,
11 Temblad, oh reposadas; turbaos, oh confiadas: despojaos, desnudaos, ceñid los lomos [con saco].
12 They are lamenting for breasts, || For fields of desire, for the fruitful vine.
12 Sobre los pechos lamentarán por los campos deleitosos, por la vid fértil.
13 Over the ground of my people thorn [and] brier go up, || Surely over all houses of joy of the exulting 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.
14 The palace has been left, || The multitude of the city forsaken, || Fort and watchtower have been for dens for all time, || A joy of wild donkeys—a pasture of herds;
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:
15 Until the Spirit is emptied out on us from on high, || And a wilderness has become a fruitful field, || And the fruitful field is reckoned 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.
16 And judgment has dwelt in the wilderness, || And righteousness remains in the fruitful field.
16 Y habitará el juicio en el desierto, y en el campo labrado asentará la justicia.
17 And a work of the righteousness has been peace, || And a service of the righteousness—Keeping quiet and confidence for all time.
17 Y el efecto de la justicia será paz; y la labor de justicia, reposo y seguridad para siempre.
18 And My people have dwelt in a peaceful habitation, || And in steadfast dwelling places, || And in quiet resting places.
18 Y mi pueblo habitará en morada de paz, y en habitaciones seguras, y en recreos de reposo.
19 And it has hailed in the going down of the forest, || And the city is low in the valley.
19 Y el granizo, cuando descendiere, [será] en los montes; y la ciudad será del todo abatida.
20 Blessed [are] you sowing by all waters, || Sending forth the foot of the ox and the donkey!
20 Dichosos vosotros los que sembráis sobre todas aguas, y metéis [en ellas] el pie de buey y de asno.

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 …
