Isaiah 32:15-33:6

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high: and the desert shall be as a charmel, and charmel shall be counted for a forest.

¹⁶ And judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and justice shall sit in charmel.

¹⁷ And the work of justice shall be peace, and the service of justice quietness, and security for ever.

¹⁸ And my people shall sit in the beauty of peace, and in the tabernacles of confidence, and in wealthy rest.

¹⁹ But hail shall be in the descent of the forest, and the city shall be made very low.

²⁰ Blessed are ye that sow upon all waters, sending thither the foot of the ox and the ass.

33 Woe to thee that spoilest, shalt not thou thyself also be spoiled? and thou that despisest, shalt not thyself also be despised? when thou shalt have made an end of spoiling, thou shalt be spoiled: when being wearied thou shalt cease to despise, thou shalt be despised.

² O Lord, have mercy on us: for we have waited for thee: be thou our arm in the morning, and our salvation in the time of trouble.

³ At the voice of the angel the people fled, and at the lifting up thyself the nations are scattered.

⁴ And your spoils shall be gathered together as the locusts are gathered, as when the ditches are full of them.

⁵ The Lord is magnified, for he hath dwelt on high: he hath filled Sion with judgment and justice.

⁶ And there shall be faith in thy times: riches of salvation, wisdom and knowledge: the fear of the Lord is his treasure.
