Isaiah 32:12-20

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹² Upon their breasts they shall lament for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.

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

¹⁴ Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the noise of the city shall cease; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;

¹⁵ until the spirit is poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness is turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is counted for a forest.

¹⁶ Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness shall remain in the fruitful field.

¹⁷ And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness rest and security for ever.

¹⁸ And my people shall dwell in a habitation of peace and in secure dwellings and in the refreshing of rest.

¹⁹ And the hail, when it shall come down, shall be in the forest; and the city shall be completely laid low.

²⁰ Blessed are ye that sow upon all waters, ye that plow with the ox and with the ass.
