Isaiah 32:9-20 - Against The Carefree Women

⁹ Up, ye rich and idle women, hearken unto my voice. Ye careless cities, mark my words. ¹⁰ After years and days shall ye be brought in fear, O ye careless cities. For Harvest shall be out, and the grape gathering shall not come. ¹¹ O ye rich idle cities, ye that fear no peril: ye shall be abashed and removed, when ye see the bareness, the nakedness, and preparing to war. ¹² For as the infants weep when their mothers' teats are dried, so shall you weep for your fair fields and fruitful vineyards. ¹³ My people's field shall bring thorns and thistles, for in every house is voluptuousness; and in the cities, willfulness. ¹⁴ The palaces also shall be broken, and the greatly occupied cities desolate. The towers and bulwarks shall be become dens forevermore, the pleasure of Mules shall be turned to pasture for sheep: ¹⁵ Unto the time that the spirit be poured upon us from above. Then shall the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the plenteous field shall be reckoned for a wood. ¹⁶ Then shall equity dwell in the desert, and righteousness in a fruitful land. ¹⁷ And the reward of righteousness shall be peace; and her fruit, rest and quietness forever. ¹⁸ And my people shall dwell in the inns of peace, in my tabernacle and pleasure where there is enough in them all. ¹⁹ And when the hail falleth, it shall fall in the wood and in the city. ²⁰ O how happy shall ye be, when ye shall safely sow your seed beside all waters, and drive thither the feet of your oxen and asses.
