"Thorn and brier will rise up, over the soil of my people. How much more over all the houses of gladness, over the city of exultation? "
— Isaiah 32:13, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city:”
“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 after a year and some days, you who are confident will be disturbed. For the vintage has been completed; the gathering will no longer occur.
Be stupefied, you opulent women! Be disturbed, O confident ones! Strip yourselves, and be confounded; gird yourselves at the waist.
Mourn over your breasts, over the delightful country, over the fruitful vineyard.
Thorn and brier will rise up, over the soil of my people. How much more over all the houses of gladness, over the city of exultation?
For the house has been forsaken. The multitude of the city has been abandoned. A darkness and a covering have been placed over its dens, even unto eternity. It will be the gladness of wild donkeys and the pasture of flocks,
until the Spirit is poured over us from on high. And the desert will be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be considered as a forest.
And judgment will live in solitude, and justice will be seated in a fruitful place.
