nkjv Isaiah:32:9-20 SEEK

*
Rise up ,
you women who are at ease ,
Hear my voice ;
You complacent daughters ,
Give ear to my speech .
*
In a year and some days You will be troubled ,
you complacent women ;
For the vintage will fail ,
The gathering will not come .
*
Tremble ,
you women who are at ease ;
Be troubled ,
you complacent ones ;
Strip yourselves ,
make yourselves bare ,
And gird sackcloth on your waists .
*
People shall mourn upon their breasts For the pleasant fields ,
for the fruitful vine .
*
On the land of my people will come up thorns and briers ,
Yes ,
on all the happy homes in the joyous city ;
*
Because the palaces will be forsaken ,
The bustling city will be deserted .
The forts and towers will become lairs forever ,
A joy of wild donkeys ,
a pasture of flocks --
*
Until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high ,
And the wilderness becomes a fruitful field ,
And the fruitful field is counted as a forest .
*
Then justice will dwell in the wilderness ,
And righteousness remain in the fruitful field .
*
The work of righteousness will be peace ,
And the effect of righteousness ,
quietness and assurance forever .
*
My people will dwell in a peaceful habitation ,
In secure dwellings ,
and in quiet resting places ,
*
Though hail comes down on the forest ,
And the city is brought low in humiliation .
*
Blessed are you who sow beside all waters ,
Who send out freely the feet of the ox and the donkey .
