Isaiah 32
- Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.
- And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
- And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken.
- The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
- The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful.
- For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
- The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.
- But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.
- Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech.
- Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.
- Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins.
- They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
- Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city:
- Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
- Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.
- Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.
- And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever. (3 connected talks)
- And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;
- When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.
- Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass.
How these connections are counted
Sources. Scripture text is the King James Version (public domain). Hebrew is the Westminster Leningrad Codex (public domain) with STEPBible tagging and lexicon data (CC BY 4.0). Old Testament cross references come from OpenBible.info (CC BY). Connections come from the scripture links in every general conference talk from April 2000 through October 2026, plus scripture lists in Weak Things sketch notes for selected apostles’ talks from 1971–1999. Latter-day Saint scholarship, other Christian commentaries, Jewish interpretation and historical sources are labeled separately.
Distinct talks, not mentions. Each talk counts once per verse. Badges show whether the talk cites this exact verse or a passage that includes it, and whether the link is in a footnote or the talk text. Frequency is not a measure of doctrinal importance.
Your own words, their link. Summaries are Weak Things’ own. Talk text is not reproduced; every card links to the original talk on the Church’s site. This independent study tool does not speak for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
