32.15 :And the wilderness become a fruitful field,
 * And the fruitful field be counted for a forest.
 * Then justice shall dwell in the wilderness,
 * And righteousness shall abide in the fruitful field.
 * And the work of righteousness shall be peace;
 * And the effect of righteousness quietness and confidence for ever.
 * And my people shall abide in a peaceable habitation,
 * And in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting-places.
 * And it shall hail, in the downfall of the forest;
 * But the city shall descend into the valley.
 * Happy are ye that sow beside all waters,
 * That send forth freely the feet of the ox and the ass.


 * Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled;
 * And dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee!
 * When thou hast ceased to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled;
 * And when thou art weary with dealing treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.


 * O, be gracious unto us;
 * We have waited for Thee;
 * Be Thou their arm every morning,
 * Our salvation also in the time of trouble.
 * At the noise of the tumult the peoples are fled;
 * At the lifting up of Thyself the nations are scattered.
 * And your spoil is gathered as the caterpillar gathereth;
 * As locusts leap do they leap upon it.
 * The is exalted, for He dwelleth on high;
 * He hath filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
 * And the stability of thy times shall be
 * A hoard of salvation—wisdom and knowledge,
 * And the fear of the which is His treasure.


 * Behold, their valiant ones cry without;
 * The ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
 * The highways lie waste, The wayfaring man ceaseth;
 * He hath broken the covenant,
 * He hath despised the cities,
 * He regardeth not man.
 * The land mourneth and languisheth;
 * Lebanon is ashamed, it withereth;
 * Sharon is like a wilderness;
 * And Bashan and Carmel are clean bare.
 * Now will I arise, saith the ;
 * Now will I be exalted;
 * Now will I lift Myself up.
 * Ye conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble;
 * Your breath is a fire that shall devour you.
 * And the peoples shall be as the burnings of lime;
 * As thorns cut down, that are burned in the fire.


 * Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done;
 * And, ye that are near, acknowledge My might.
 * The sinners in Zion are afraid;
 * Trembling hath seized the ungodly:
 * 'Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire?
