New Testament

Isaiah 32:7-12 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

7. They use evil like a tool and plan ways to steal from the poor. They tell lies about the poor and keep them from being judged fairly.

8. But a good leader plans good things to do, and that will make him a leader over other leaders.

9. Some of you women are calm now; you feel safe. But you should stand and listen to the words I say.

10. You feel safe now, but after one year you will be troubled. That is because you will not gather grapes next year—there will be no grapes to gather.

11. Women, you are calm now, but you should be afraid. You feel safe now, but you should be worried. Take off your nice clothes and put on sackcloth. Wrap it around your waist.

12. Beat your breasts in sorrow. Cry because your fields are empty. Your vineyards once gave grapes, but now they are empty.
