Isaiah:32:9-20

Rise up ,
ye rich women ,
and hear my voice ; (
note :)
Gr .
daughters in hope (:
note )
ye confident daughters ,
hearken to my words .
*
Remember for a full year in pain ,
yet with hope :
the vintage has been cut off ;
it has ceased ,
it shall by no means come again .
*
Be amazed ,
be pained ,
ye confident ones :
strip you ,
bare yourselves ,
gird your loins ;
*
and beat your breasts ,
because of the pleasant field ,
and the fruit of the vine .
*
As for the land of my people ,
the thorn and grass shall come upon it ,
and joy shall be removed from every house .
*
As for the rich city ,
the houses are deserted ;
they shall abandon the wealth of the city ,
and the pleasant houses :
and the villages shall be caves for ever ,
the joy of wild asses ,
shepherds ’
pastures ;
*
until the Spirit shall come upon you from on high ,
and Chermel shall be desert ,
and Chermel shall be counted for a forest .
*
Then judgement shall abide in the wilderness ,
and righteousness shall dwell in Carmel .
*
And the works of righteousness shall be peace ;
and righteousness shall ensure rest ,
and the righteous shall be confident for ever .
*
And his people shall inhabit a city of peace ,
and dwell in it in confidence ,
and they shall rest with wealth .
*
And if the hail should come down ,
it shall not come upon you ;
and they that dwell in the forests shall be in confidence ,
as those in the plain country .
*
Blessed are they that sow by every water ,
where the ox and ass tread .
