XXXII. 1 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and (as) for princes, they shall rule in judgment.

2 And a man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the rainstorm; as channels of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.

3 And the eyes of them that see shall not be closed, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken.
