Verse in context — Isaiah 32
11
Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird [sackcloth] upon [your] loins.
12
They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
13
Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns [and] briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy [in] the joyous city:
14
Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
15
Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.
