American Standard Version
"Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city. "
— Isaiah 32:13, American Standard Version
“Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city:”
“Thorns and briars will come up on my people's land; yes, on all the houses of joy in the joyous city.”
“Mourn over the land of my people, which is overgrown with thorns and briers, and over all the once-happy houses in the city filled with revelry.”
“Upon the land of my people shall thorns and briers come up: how much more upon all the houses of joy, of the city that rejoiced?”
“And for the land of my people, where thorns will come up; even for all the houses of joy in the glad town.”
“Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city:”
For days beyond a year shall ye be troubled, ye careless women; for the vintage shall fail, the ingathering shall not come.
Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones; strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins.
They shall smite upon the breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city.
For the palace shall be forsaken; the populous city shall be deserted; the hill and the watch-tower shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
until the Spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness become a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be esteemed as a forest.
Then justice shall dwell in the wilderness; and righteousness shall abide in the fruitful field.
