Compare all
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.
