Isaiah 32:12-20
New American Standard Bible 1995
12 (A)Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine,
13 (B)For the land of my people in which thorns and briars shall come up;
Yea, for all the joyful houses and for the (C)jubilant city.
14 Because (D)the palace has been abandoned, the [a]populated (E)city forsaken.
[b]Hill and watch-tower have become (F)caves forever,
A delight for (G)wild donkeys, a pasture for flocks;
15 Until the (H)Spirit is poured out upon us from on high,
And the wilderness becomes a (I)fertile field,
And the fertile field is considered as a forest.
16 Then (J)justice will dwell in the wilderness
And righteousness will abide in the fertile field.
17 And the (K)work of righteousness will be peace,
And the service of righteousness, (L)quietness and [c]confidence forever.
18 Then my people will live in a (M)peaceful habitation,
And in secure dwellings and in undisturbed (N)resting places;
19 And it will (O)hail when the (P)forest comes down,
And (Q)the city will be utterly laid low.
20 How (R)blessed will you be, you who sow beside all waters,
Who [d]let out freely the ox and the donkey.

Legacy Standard Bible
12 (A)Beat your breasts for the desirable fields, for the fruitful vine,
13 (B)For the land of my people in which thorns and briars shall come up,
Indeed, against all the joyful houses and the (C)exultant city.
14 Because (D)the palace has been abandoned, the [a]populated (E)city forsaken.
[b]Hill and watchtower have become (F)caves forever,
A joy for (G)wild donkeys, a pasture for flocks,
15 Until the (H)Spirit is poured out upon us from on high,
And the wilderness becomes a (I)fruitful orchard,
And the fruitful orchard is counted as a forest.
16 Then (J)justice will dwell in the wilderness,
And righteousness will live in the fruitful orchard.
17 And the (K)work of righteousness will be peace,
And the service of righteousness, (L)quietness and security forever.
18 Then my people will live in a (M)peaceful abode,
And in secure dwellings and in undisturbed (N)resting places;
19 And it will (O)hail when the (P)forest comes down,
And (Q)the city will be utterly laid low.
20 How (R)blessed will you be, you who sow beside all waters,
Who [c]let out freely the ox and the donkey.
