“See!
A king will reign in righteousness.
Princes will rule with justice.
Each will be
Like a hiding place from the wind,
Like a covert from the tempest,
Like streams of water
In a dry place,
Like the shade of a great rock
In a weary land.
Then the eyes of those who have sight
Will not be closed.
The ears of those who have hearing
Will listen.
The minds of the rash
Will have good judgment.
The tongues of the stammerers
Will speak readily.
They will speak distinctly.”
Isaiah maintains that there will be new age when justice will prevail. The righteous kings and the good princes will rule with justice. Thus they will be helpful to others because they will be like a hiding place from the wind, like a covering in a storm, like streams of water in a dry place, and like shade in a hot weary land. The seeing will see and the hearing will hear. Minds will make good judgments. People who stammer will speak readily and distinctly. This would be some kind of utopian time when justice and fairness for all existed in an enlightened society.
