Isaiah 32:12-20
English Standard Version
12 (A)Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields,
for the fruitful vine,
13 (B)for the soil of my people
growing up in thorns and briers,
(C)yes, for all the joyous houses
in the exultant city.
14 For the palace is forsaken,
the populous city deserted;
the hill and the watchtower
will become dens forever,
(D)a joy of wild donkeys,
a pasture of flocks;
15 until (E)the Spirit is poured upon us from on high,
and (F)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 (G)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 (H)And it will hail when the forest falls down,
(I)and the city will be utterly laid low.
20 (J)Happy are you who sow beside all waters,
who let the feet of the ox and the donkey range free.

Isaiah 32:12-20
International Standard Version
12 For people will be beating their breasts
in mourning[a] over the pleasant fields,
over the fruitful vines,
13 and over the land of my people
overgrown with thorns and[b] briers—
yes, over all the houses of merriment
and over this city of revelry.
14 “For the palace will be abandoned,
the noisy city deserted;
the citadel and watchtower
will become barren wastes forever,
the delight of wild donkeys,
and a pasture for[c] flocks,
15 until the Spirit from on high is poured upon us,
and the desert becomes a fertile field,
and the fertile field seems like a forest.”
Restoration of God’s Reign
16 “Then justice will live in the wilderness,
and righteousness will dwell in the fertile field.
17 The effect of righteousness will be peace,
and the result of righteousness will be quietness and confidence forever.
18 My people will live in peaceful dwellings,
in secure homes and in undisturbed resting places.
19 But it will hail when the forest comes down,
and the wood[d] will be leveled completely.
20 How happy you will be, sowing your seed beside every stream,
and[e] letting your[f] cattle and donkeys range freely!”
