Isaiah 32:18-20
The Message
15-20 Yes, weep and grieve until the Spirit is poured
down on us from above
And the badlands desert grows crops
and the fertile fields become forests.
Justice will move into the badlands desert.
Right will build a home in the fertile field.
And where there’s Right, there’ll be Peace
and the progeny of Right: quiet lives and endless trust.
My people will live in a peaceful neighborhood—
in safe houses, in quiet gardens.
The forest of your pride will be clear-cut,
the city showing off your power leveled.
But you will enjoy a fortunate life,
planting well-watered fields and gardens,
with your farm animals grazing freely.
Isaiah 32:18-20
New International Version
18 My people will live in peaceful(A) dwelling places,
in secure homes,(B)
in undisturbed places of rest.(C)
19 Though hail(D) flattens the forest(E)
and the city is leveled(F) completely,
20 how blessed you will be,
sowing(G) your seed by every stream,(H)
and letting your cattle and donkeys range free.(I)
Isaiah 32:18-20
King James Version
18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;
19 When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.
20 Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass.
