Isaiah 32:14-16
Lexham English Bible
14 For the palace will be forsaken,
the crowded city[a] deserted;
the hill and the watchtower will become[b] a cave forever,
the joy of wild asses, a pasture for[c] flocks.
15 Until a spirit is poured out on us from on high,
and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field,
and the fruitful field is reckoned as the forest.
16 Then[d] justice will dwell in the wilderness,
and righteousness will live in the fruitful field.
