Isaiah 32:9-15

91You women, listen carefully to what I say to you! You think that you have no problems. You feel very safe. But listen to me!

10Now, you think that you are safe, but in one year's time, you will shake with fear. There will be no grapes at harvest time. You will pick no fruit from your trees.

11You think that you have no problems, but you should be afraid. Yes, shake with fear! Take off all your beautiful clothes. Tie rough cloth round your legs instead.

12Weep and hit your breasts, because your good fields have no crops, and your vines have no grapes.

13Weep because of what has happened to my people's land. Only thorn bushes and weeds grow there. Weep because there are no longer any happy homes. There are no more parties in the city.

14Nobody will remain in the king's great palace. The city that is now full of people will be empty. The city's hill and its strong buildings will become heaps of stones for ever. Wild donkeys will play in those places, and sheep will find grass to eat.

15It will be like that until God pours a new spirit on us from heaven. Then, deserts will become fields of fruit trees. And fields of fruit trees will seem like forests.
