Isaiah 32:13

Against The Carefree Women

¹² Beat your breasts in mourning
for the delightful fields and the fruitful vines,
¹³ for the ground of my people
growing thorns and briers,
indeed, for every joyous house in the joyful city.
¹⁴ For the palace will be forsaken,
the busy city abandoned.
The hill and the watchtower will become
barren places forever,
the joy of wild donkeys,
and a pasture for flocks,

My People
