Isaiah 32:9-20

Isaiah 32:9-20

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