Isaiah 32

Isaiah prophesies that a righteous king will reign in justice, providing shelter and refuge while exposing fools and scoundrels[2][3]. He warns complacent women of Jerusalem that judgment is coming through an Assyrian invasion, but promises that when YHWH's Spirit is poured out, the wilderness will become fruitful and the people will dwell in peace and righteousness[1][2].
