Isaiah 32:15-20
(alternative translations)
15 Once more there will be poured on us the Spirit from above;
The wilderness shall become a fertile land,
The fertile land shall become a forest.
16 In the wilderness justice will come to live,
And integrity in the fertile land.
17 Integrity will bring peace, and
Justice alone will give lasting security.
18 My people will one day live in a peaceful home,
In safe houses and quiet dwellings,
20 Happy will you be, sowing your grain by flowing streams,
With your ox and donkey roaming in freedom.”
