Isaiah 32:14
Compare all
12 People shall mourn upon their breasts
For the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
13 aOn the land of my people will come up thorns and briers,
Yes, on all the happy homes in bthe joyous city; 
14 aBecause the palaces will be forsaken,
The bustling city will be deserted.
The forts and towers will become lairs forever,
A joy of wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks— 
15 Until athe Spirit is poured upon us from on high,
And bthe wilderness becomes a fruitful field,
And the fruitful field is counted as a forest. 

The Peace of God’s Reign

16 Then justice will dwell in the wilderness,
And righteousness remain in the fruitful field.

"It was naturally strong by its situation; and had a wall of its own, by which it was separated from the rest of Zion.
