Isaiah 32:10–20
10For days beyond a year you will be troubled, you careless women; for the vintage will fail. The harvest won’t come.↗
11Tremble, you women who are at ease! Be troubled, you careless ones! Strip yourselves, make yourselves naked, and put sackcloth on your waist.↗
12Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.↗
13Thorns and briers will come up on my people’s land; yes, on all the houses of joy in the joyous city.↗
14For the palace will be forsaken. The populous city will be deserted. The hill and the watchtower will be for dens forever, a delight for wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks,↗
15until the Spirit is poured on us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is considered a forest.↗
16Then justice will dwell in the wilderness; and righteousness will remain in the fruitful field.↗
17The work of righteousness will be peace, and the effect of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.↗
18My people will live in a peaceful habitation, in safe dwellings, and in quiet resting places,↗
19though hail flattens the forest, and the city is leveled completely.↗
20Blessed are you who sow beside all waters, who send out the feet of the ox and the donkey.↗
