Isaiah 32 — Context

13

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?

14

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,

15

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.

16

And judgment will live in solitude, and justice will be seated in a fruitful place.

17

And the work of justice will be peace. And the service of justice will be quiet and secure, forever.

18

And my people will be seated in the beauty of peacefulness, and in the tabernacles of faithfulness, and in the opulence of restfulness.

19

But hail will be in the descent of the forest, and the city will be brought exceedingly low.
