Isaiah 32:13-15

The Voice

¹³ Mourn over my people’s land, verdant and lush,
    now the habitat of thorns and briars—
Yes, for all the happy homes and vibrant cities.
¹⁴ Palaces and bustling cities will be abandoned;
    hilltop posts and watchtowers will serve as caves for animals;
    wild donkeys and flocks will enjoy the wide open spaces.
¹⁵ So it will be until God pours out the Spirit from up above,
    and the land comes alive again—desert to fertile field, fertile field to forest.
