Isaiah 32  Legacy Standard Bible

⁹ Rise up, you ^(O)women who are at ease,
And hear my voice;
^(P)Give ear to my word,
You complacent daughters.
¹⁰ Within a year and a few days
You will quake, O complacent daughters;
^(Q)For the grape harvest is ended,
And the fruit gathering will not come.
¹¹ Tremble, you women who are at ease;
^(R)Quake, you complacent daughters;
^(S)Strip, undress, and put sackcloth on your waist,
^12 (T)Beat your breasts for the desirable fields, for the fruitful vine,
^13 (U)For the land of my people in which thorns and briars shall come up,
Indeed, against all the joyful houses and the ^(V)exultant city.
¹⁴ Because ^(W)the palace has been abandoned, the ^[e]populated ^(X)city forsaken.
^[f]Hill and watchtower have become ^(Y)caves forever,
A joy for ^(Z)wild donkeys, a pasture for flocks,
¹⁵ Until the ^(AA)Spirit is poured out upon us from on high,
And the wilderness becomes a ^(AB)fruitful orchard,
And the fruitful orchard is counted as a forest.
¹⁶ Then ^(AC)justice will dwell in the wilderness,
And righteousness will live in the fruitful orchard.
¹⁷ And the ^(AD)work of righteousness will be peace,
And the service of righteousness, ^(AE)quietness and security forever.
¹⁸ Then my people will live in a ^(AF)peaceful abode,
And in secure dwellings and in undisturbed ^(AG)resting places;
¹⁹ And it will ^(AH)hail when the ^(AI)forest comes down,
And ^(AJ)the city will be utterly laid low.
²⁰ How ^(AK)blessed will you be, you who sow beside all waters,
Who ^[g]let out freely the ox and the donkey.
