Isaiah 32:13-15
Lexham English Bible
13 over the soil of my people.
It goes up in thorns[a] and briers,[b]
indeed over all of the houses of joy in the jubilant city.
14 For the palace will be forsaken,
the crowded city[c] deserted;
the hill and the watchtower will become[d] a cave forever,
the joy of wild asses, a pasture for[e] flocks.
15 Until a spirit is poured out on us from on high,
and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field,
and the fruitful field is reckoned as the forest.
