Isaiah 32:9-20

9Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear to my speech. 10Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.1 11Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip ye, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins. 12They shall lament for the breasts, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.2 13Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; also, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city:3 14Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks;4 15Until the spirit shall be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness shall be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be counted for a forest. 16Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field. 17And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever. 18And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places; 19When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.5 20Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth there the feet of the ox and the donkey.
