Isaiah 32:15-18
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
15 [a]Until the spirit from on high
is poured out on us.
And the wilderness becomes a garden land
and the garden land seems as common as forest.(A)
16 Then judgment will dwell in the wilderness
and justice abide in the garden land.
17 The work of justice will be peace;
the effect of justice, calm and security forever.(B)
18 My people will live in peaceful country,
in secure dwellings and quiet resting places.(C)
