Isaiah 32:13-15

King James Version

¹³Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city:

¹⁴Because 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;

¹⁵Until 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.

New International Version

¹³and for the land of my people,
    a land overgrown with thorns and briers^(A)—
yes, mourn^(B) for all houses of merriment
    and for this city of revelry.^(C)
¹⁴The fortress^(D) will be abandoned,
    the noisy city deserted;^(E)
citadel and watchtower^(F) will become a wasteland forever,
    the delight of donkeys,^(G) a pasture for flocks,^(H)
¹⁵till the Spirit^(I) is poured on us from on high,
    and the desert becomes a fertile field,^(J)
    and the fertile field seems like a forest.^(K)

¹³^(A)On the land of my people will come up thorns and briers,
Yes, on all the happy homes in ^(B)the joyous city;

The forts and towers will become lairs forever,
A joy of wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks—

And ^(E)the wilderness becomes a fruitful field,
And the fruitful field is counted as a forest.
