Complacent Women Warned of Disaster

Isaiah 32

9 Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech. 10 Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail, and the harvest shall not come in. 11 Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip you, and make yourselves bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins. 12 Upon their breasts they shall lament for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine. 13 Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; even upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city: 14 Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the noise of the city shall cease; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks; 15 until the spirit is poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness is turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is counted for a forest. 16 Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness shall remain in the fruitful field. 17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness rest and security for ever. 18 And my people shall dwell in a habitation of peace and in secure dwellings and in the refreshing of rest. 19 And the hail, when it shall come down, shall be in the forest; and the city shall be completely laid low. 20 Blessed are ye that sow upon all waters, ye that plow with the ox and with the ass.
