Isaiah:32:9-20
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Rise up ,
ye women that are at ease ,
hear my voice ;
ye careless daughters ,
give ear unto my speech .
*
In a year and [
some ]
days 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 ]
on your loins !
*
They shall smite on the breasts [
in lamentation ]
for the pleasant fields ,
for the fruitful vineyards .
*
Upon the land of my people shall come up thistles [
and ]
briars ,
yea ,
upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city .
*
For the palace shall be deserted ,
the multitude of the city shall be forsaken ;
hill and watchtower shall be caves 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 counted for a forest .
*
And judgment shall inhabit the wilderness ,
and righteousness dwell in the fruitful field .
*
And the work of righteousness shall be peace ;
and the effect of righteousness ,
quietness and assurance for ever .
*
And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation ,
and in sure dwellings ,
and in quiet resting-places .
*
And it shall hail ,
coming down on the forest ;
and the city shall be low in a low place .
*
Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters ,
that send forth the feet of the ox and the ass .
