Isaiah 32:9-20

9Stand up, you complacent women; listen to me. Pay attention to what I say, you overconfident daughters.

10In a little more than a year you overconfident ones will shudder, for the grapes will fail and the harvest will not come.

11Shudder, you complacent ones; tremble, you overconfident ones! Strip yourselves bare and put sackcloth around your waists.

12Beat your breasts in mourning for the delightful fields and the fruitful vines,

13for the ground of my people growing thorns and briers, indeed, for every joyous house in the jubilant city.

14For the palace will be deserted, the busy city abandoned. The hill and the watchtower will become barren places forever, the joy of wild donkeys, and a pasture for flocks,

15until the Spirit from on high is poured out on us. Then the desert will become an orchard, and the orchard will seem like a forest.

16Then justice will inhabit the wilderness, and righteousness will dwell in the orchard.

17The result of righteousness will be peace; the effect of righteousness will be quiet confidence forever.

18Then my people will dwell in a peaceful place, in safe and secure dwellings.

19But hail will level the forest, and the city will sink into the depths.

20You will be happy as you sow seed beside abundant water, and as you let oxen and donkeys range freely.
