Isaiah 32:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 Men shall lament for the [a]teats, even for the pleasant fields, and for the fruitful vine.
13 Upon the land of my people shall grow thorns and briers: yea, upon all the houses of joy in the city of rejoicing,
14 Because the palace shall be forsaken, and the [b]noise of the city shall be left: the tower and fortress shall be dens forever, and the delight of wild asses, and a pasture for flocks,

Isaiah 32:12-14
New International Version
12 Beat your breasts(A) for the pleasant fields,
for the fruitful vines(B)
13 and for the land of my people,
a land overgrown with thorns and briers(C)—
yes, mourn(D) for all houses of merriment
and for this city of revelry.(E)
14 The fortress(F) will be abandoned,
the noisy city deserted;(G)
citadel and watchtower(H) will become a wasteland forever,
the delight of donkeys,(I) a pasture for flocks,(J)
