Isaiah 32:16

Read in context

Isaiah 32:14–18 · Berean Standard Bible

14 For the palace will be forsaken, the busy city abandoned. The hill and the watchtower will become caves forever— the delight of wild donkeys and a pasture for flocks—

15 until the Spirit is poured out upon us from on high. Then the desert will be an orchard, and the orchard will seem like a forest.

16 Then justice will inhabit the wilderness, and righteousness will dwell in the fertile field.

17 The work of righteousness will be peace; the service of righteousness will be quiet confidence forever.

18 Then my people will dwell in a peaceful place, in safe and secure places of rest.
