Isaiah 32:14-19
King James Version
Isaiah 32:14-19
King James Version
14 Because 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;
15 Until 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.
16 Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.
17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;
19 When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.

Isaiah 32:14-19
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.
17 The fruit of that righteousness(L) will be peace;(M)
its effect will be quietness and confidence(N) forever.
18 My people will live in peaceful(O) dwelling places,
in secure homes,(P)
in undisturbed places of rest.(Q)
19 Though hail(R) flattens the forest(S)
and the city is leveled(T) completely,
Isaiah 32:14-19

English Standard Version
14 For the palace is forsaken,
the populous city deserted;
the hill and the watchtower
will become dens forever,
(A)a joy of wild donkeys,
a pasture of flocks;
15 until (B)the Spirit is poured upon us from on high,
and (C)the wilderness becomes a fruitful field,
and the fruitful field is deemed a forest.
16 Then justice will dwell in the wilderness,
and righteousness abide in the fruitful field.
17 (D)And the effect of righteousness will be peace,
and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust[a] forever.
18 My people will abide in a peaceful habitation,
in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places.
19 (E)And it will hail when the forest falls down,
(F)and the city will be utterly laid low.

Christian Standard Bible
14 For the palace will be deserted,
the busy city abandoned.
The hill and the watchtower will become
barren places forever,
the joy of wild donkeys,
and a pasture for flocks,
15 until the Spirit[a] from on high is poured out on us.(A)
Then the desert will become an orchard,
and the orchard will seem like a forest.(B)
16 Then justice will inhabit the wilderness,
and righteousness will dwell in the orchard.
17 The result of righteousness will be peace;(C)
the effect of righteousness
will be quiet confidence forever.
18 Then my people will dwell in a peaceful place,
in safe and secure dwellings.
19 But hail will level the forest,[b](D)
and the city will sink into the depths.(E)
