Isaiah 32:9-20
The Women of Jerusalem
9 Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech.
9:
10 Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.
10:
11 Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird [sackcloth] upon [your] loins.
11:
12 They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
12:
13 Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns [and] briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy [in] the joyous city:
13:
14 Because 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 asses, a pasture of flocks;
14:
15 Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.
15:
16 Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.
16:
17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
17:
18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;
18:
19 When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.
19:
20 Blessed [are] ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth [thither] the feet of the ox and the ass.
20:
