15 Until the [a]Spirit be poured upon us from above, and the wilderness become a fruitful field, and the [b]plenteous field be counted as a forest.

16 And judgment shall dwell in the desert, and justice shall remain in the fruitful field.

17 And the work of justice shall be peace, even the work of justice and quietness, and assurance forever.

Footnotes

  1. Isaiah 32:15 That is, when the Church shall be restored: thus the Prophets, after they have denounced God’s judgments against the wicked, used to comfort the godly, lest they should faint.
  2. Isaiah 32:15 The field which is now fruitful, shall be but as a barren forest in comparison of that it shall be then, as Isa. 29:17, which shall be fulfilled in Christ’s time, for then they that were before as the barren wilderness, being regenerate shall be fruitful, and they that had some beginning of godliness, shall bring forth fruits in such abundance, that their former life shall seem but as a wilderness where no fruits were.
