Isaiah 32:13-20 ▼

13 Over the ground of my people thorn [and] brier go up, || Surely over all houses of joy of the exulting city,

14 The palace has been left, || The multitude of the city forsaken, || Fort and watchtower have been for dens for all time, || A joy of wild donkeys—a pasture of herds;

15 Until the Spirit is emptied out on us from on high, || And a wilderness has become a fruitful field, || And the fruitful field is reckoned for a forest.

16 And judgment has dwelt in the wilderness, || And righteousness remains in the fruitful field.

17 And a work of the righteousness has been peace, || And a service of the righteousness—Keeping quiet and confidence for all time.

18 And My people have dwelt in a peaceful habitation, || And in steadfast dwelling places, || And in quiet resting places.

19 And it has hailed in the going down of the forest, || And the city is low in the valley.

20 Blessed [are] you sowing by all waters, || Sending forth the foot of the ox and the donkey!
