Isaiah 32:14-16
New International Reader's Version
14 The royal palace will be left empty.
The noisy city will be deserted.
The fort and lookout tower will become
a dry and empty desert forever.
Donkeys will enjoy being there.
Flocks will eat there.
15 That will continue until the Holy Spirit
is poured out on us from heaven.
Then the desert will be turned into rich farm lands.
The rich farm lands will seem like a forest.
16 In the desert, the Lord will make sure people do what is right.
In the rich farm lands he will make sure they treat one another fairly.
Isaiah 32:14-16
New International Version
14 The fortress(A) will be abandoned,
the noisy city deserted;(B)
citadel and watchtower(C) will become a wasteland forever,
the delight of donkeys,(D) a pasture for flocks,(E)
15 till the Spirit(F) is poured on us from on high,
and the desert becomes a fertile field,(G)
and the fertile field seems like a forest.(H)
16 The Lord’s justice(I) will dwell in the desert,(J)
his righteousness(K) live in the fertile field.
