Isaiah 32:12-14

Modern English Version

¹² Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields,
    for the fruitful vine,
¹³ for the land of my people
    in which thorns and briers shall come up,
yes, for all the joyful houses
    and for the jubilant city;
¹⁴ because the palaces have been forsaken,
    the populated city is forsaken.
The forts and towers shall be caves forever,
    a joy of wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks,
