Isaiah 32:13-15

International Children’s Bible

¹³ Cry for the land of my people.
    Cry because only thorns and weeds grow there now.
Cry for the city that once was happy.
    And cry for all the houses that once were filled with joy.
¹⁴ The palace will be empty.
    People will leave the noisy city.
Strong cities and towers will be empty.
    Wild donkeys will love to live there. Sheep will go there to eat.

¹⁵ This will continue until God puts his Spirit from above into us.
    Then the desert will be like a fertile field.
    And the fertile field will be like a forest.
