Isaiah:32:9-20
Seeker Overlay ON
*
O women who are at ease ,
rise up .
Hear my voice ;
confident daughters ,
listen to my word .
*
You will shake for days on a year ,
confident women ;
for the vintage fails ;
the harvest will not come .
*
Tremble ,
women at ease ;
shake ,
confident women ;
strip and make yourselves bare ,
and bind on sackcloth on your loins ;
*
be wailing over breasts ,
over pleasant fields ,
over the fruitful vine .
*
Thorns and briers shall spring up on the land of My people ;
even over all the houses of joy in the jubilant city ,
*
because the palace is forsaken ;
the crowd of the city is forsaken ;
mound and tower are instead caves ,
until forever ;
a joy of wild asses ;
pasture for flocks ;
*
until is poured out on us the Spirit from on high ,
and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field ;
and the fruitful field is reckoned as a forest .
*
Then justice shall dwell in the wilderness ,
and righteousness shall dwell in the fruitful field .
*
And the work of righteousness shall be peace ;
and the service of righteousness shall be quietness and hope forever .
*
And My people shall live in a peaceful home ,
and in safe dwellings ,
and in secure resting places .
*
Though it hails when the forest is felled ,
and the city is laid low ,
*
blessed are you who sow beside all waters ,
who send out the foot of the ox and the ass .
