Isaiah 32:12-20
Lexham English Bible
12 mourning over breasts,
over fields of delight,
over the fruitful vine,
13 over the soil of my people.
It goes up in thorns[a] and briers,[b]
indeed over all of the houses of joy in the jubilant city.
14 For the palace will be forsaken,
the crowded city[c] deserted;
the hill and the watchtower will become[d] a cave forever,
the joy of wild asses, a pasture for[e] flocks.
15 Until a spirit is poured out on us from on high,
and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field,
and the fruitful field is reckoned as the forest.
16 Then[f] justice will dwell in the wilderness,
and righteousness will live in the fruitful field.
17 And the work of righteousness will be peace,
and the work of righteousness, quietness and security forever.
18 And my people will dwell in a settlement of peace
and in a dwelling place of security
and in undisturbed resting places.
19 And it hails when the forest comes down,[g]
and the city will become low in humiliation.
20 Happy are you who sow by all waters,
who let the foot of the ox and the donkey go free.

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields,[a]
for the fruitful vine,(A)
13 for the soil of my people
growing up in thorns and briers,
yes, for all the joyous houses
in the jubilant city.(B)
14 For the palace will be forsaken,
the populous city deserted;
the hill and the watchtower
will become dens forever,
the joy of wild asses,
a pasture for flocks;(C)
15 until a spirit from on high is poured out on us,
and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field,
and the fruitful field is deemed a forest.(D)
The Peace of God’s Reign
16 Then justice will dwell in the wilderness
and righteousness abide in the fruitful field.(E)
17 The effect of righteousness will be peace,
and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust forever.(F)
18 My people will abide in a peaceful habitation,
in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places.
19 The forest will disappear completely,[b]
and the city will be utterly laid low.(G)
20 Happy will you be who sow beside every stream,
who let the ox and the donkey range freely.(H)
