Isaiah 32:16
Compare all
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. 
18 My people will dwell in a peaceful habitation,
In secure dwellings, and in quiet aresting places, 
19 aThough hail comes down bon the forest,
And the city is brought low in humiliation. 
20 Blessed are you who sow beside all waters,
Who send out freely the feet of athe ox and the donkey.
