Isaiah

Isaiah 32:14–15

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 —

¹⁵until 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.
