Be troubled, you complacent ones;
Strip yourselves, make yourselves bare,
And gird sackcloth on your waists.
Yes, on all the happy homes in bthe joyous city;
The bustling city will be deserted.
The forts and towers will become lairs forever,
A joy of wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks—
And bthe wilderness becomes a fruitful field,
And the fruitful field is counted as a forest.
The Peace of God’s Reign
And the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever.
| << Isaiah 32:12 | Isaiah 32:14 >> |
