Isaiah 32:9
Compare all
7 Also the schemes of the schemer are evil;
He devises wicked plans
To destroy the poor with alying words,
Even when the needy speaks justice. 
8 But a1 generous man devises generous things,
And by generosity he shall stand. 

Consequences of Complacency

9 Rise up, you women awho are at ease,
Hear my voice;
You complacent daughters,
Give ear to my speech. 
10 In a year and some days
You will be troubled, you complacent women;
For the vintage will fail,
The gathering will not come.
11 Tremble, you women who are at ease;
Be troubled, you complacent ones;
Strip yourselves, make yourselves bare,
And gird sackcloth on your waists.
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.
17 aThe work of righteousness will be peace,
And the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever.
