The instruments also of the churl [are] evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right (32:7) But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand (32:8) Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech (32:9) Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come (32:10) Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird [sackcloth] upon [your] loins (32:11) They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine (32:12) Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns [and] briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy [in] the joyous city: (32:13) Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks; (32:14) Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest (32:15) Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field (32:16) And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever (32:17) And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places; (32:18) When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place (32:19) Blessed [are] ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth [thither] the feet of the ox and the ass
(32:20)
