14 The palaces also shalbe broke, and the greatly occupied cities desolate: The towres and bulwarkes shall become dennes for euermore, where wylde asses take their pleasure, and sheepe their pasture. 15 Unto the tyme that the spirite be powred vpon vs from aboue, and that the wildernesse be a fruitfull fielde, and the plenteous fielde be reckened for a wood. 16 Then shall equitie dwell in the desert, and righteousnesse in a fruitfull lande. 17 And the worke of righteousnesse shalbe peace, and her fruite rest and quietnesse for euer. 18 And my people shall dwell in the innes of peace, and in sure dwellynges, in safe places of comfort. 19 And when the hayle falleth, it shall fall in the wood, and the citie shalbe set lowe in the valley. 20 O howe happy shall ye be when ye shall safely sowe your seede beside all waters, and dryue thyther the feete of your oxen and asses. Isaiah 32:14-20, Bishops' Bible of 1568. Public domain.
