Isaiah 32:3

Wisdom

1 Behold, a king will reign in righteousness, and princes will rule with justice.

2 Each will be like a shelter from the wind, a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in a dry land, like the shadow of a great rock in an arid land.

Then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed, and the ears of those who hear will listen.

4 The mind of the rash will know and understand, and the stammering tongue will speak clearly and fluently.

5 No longer will a fool be called noble, nor a scoundrel be respected.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
