Isaiah

Isaiah 32:13–14

¹³and for the land of my people,

overgrown with thorns and briers —

even for every house of merriment

in this city of revelry.

¹⁴For the palace will be forsaken,

the busy city abandoned.

The hill^a and the watchtower will become caves forever —

the delight of wild donkeys

and a pasture for flocks —
