Isaiah 32:12-14

Common English Bible

¹²     beating your breasts for the pleasant fields,
    for the fruitful vine,
¹³     for my people’s soil
    growing barbs and thorns,
    for all the joyous houses
    in the jubilant town.
¹⁴ The palace will be deserted,
    the crowded city abandoned.
Stronghold and watchtower
    will become empty fields forever,
    suited for the pleasure of wild donkeys,
    and a pasture for flocks—
