Amplified Bible
Isaiah 32:18-20
Amplified Bible
18
Then my people will live in a peaceful surrounding,
And in secure dwellings and in undisturbed resting places.
19
But it will hail, when the forest comes down,
And the [capital] city will fall in utter humiliation.
20
Blessed (happy, fortunate) are you who cast your seed upon all waters [[a]when the river overflows its banks and irrigates the land],
You who allow the ox and the donkey to roam freely.
