Yeshayah 32:11-20 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

11. Tremble, ye nashim that are complacently at ease; shake, ye complacent ones; strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins.

12. They shall mournfully beat upon their breasts, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful gefen (vine).

13. Upon the admat Ami (land of My People) shall come up kotz (thorns) and briers; indeed, upon all the batim (houses) of joy in the city of merriment;

14. Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the Ir shall be abandoned; the citadel and stronghold shall be ruins ad olam, a delight of wild donkeys, a pasture of adarim (flocks);

15. Until the Ruach [Hakodesh] be poured upon us from on high, and the midbar become a carmel (fruitful field), and the carmel become a ya'ar (forest).

16. Then mishpat shall dwell in the midbar, and tzedakah live in the carmel.

17. And the ma'aseh (work) of tzedakah (righteousness) shall be shalom; and the effect of tzedakah quietness and assurance ad olam (forever).

18. And my people shall dwell in a naveh shalom (a habitation of peace) and in secure mishkenot (dwellings), and in quiet menuchot (resting places);

19. When it shall hail, coming down on the ya'ar (forest); and the Ir shall be utterly brought down in a low place [of humiliation].

20. Blessed are ye that sow beside all mayim, that send forth there the regel of the shor (ox) and the chamor (donkey).
