Isaiah 32 — Context

12

Mourn over the field, over the delightful fields and the fruitful vine!

13

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.

14

For the fortress is neglected; the once-crowded city is abandoned. Hill and watchtower are permanently uninhabited. Wild donkeys love to go there, and flocks graze there.

15

This desolation will continue until new life is poured out on us from heaven. Then the wilderness will become an orchard and the orchard will be considered a forest.

16

Justice will settle down in the wilderness and fairness will live in the orchard.

17

Fairness will produce peace and result in lasting security.

18

My people will live in peaceful settlements, in secure homes, and in safe, quiet places.
