Isaiah 32:9-20

9Rise up, you women who are at ease, Hear my voice; You complacent daughters, Give ear to my speech.

10In a year and some days You will be troubled, you complacent women; For the vintage will fail, The gathering will not come.

11Tremble, you women who are at ease; Be troubled, you complacent ones; Strip yourselves, make yourselves bare, And gird sackcloth on your waists.

12People shall mourn upon their breasts For the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.

13On the land of my people will come up thorns and briers, Yes, on all the happy homes in the joyous city;

14Because the palaces will be forsaken, The bustling city will be deserted. The forts and towers will become lairs forever, A joy of wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks—

15Until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high, And the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, And the fruitful field is counted as a forest.

16Then justice will dwell in the wilderness, And righteousness remain in the fruitful field.

17The work of righteousness will be peace, And the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever.

18My people will dwell in a peaceful habitation, In secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places,

19Though hail comes down on the forest, And the city is brought low in humiliation.

20Blessed are you who sow beside all waters, Who send out freely the feet of the ox and the donkey.
