2 #
Isa 4.6; 35.6; 41.18; 43.19, 20 Each will be like a hiding place from the wind,
a covert from the tempest,
like streams of water in a dry place,
like the shade of a great rock in a weary land.

A fool will no longer be called noble
nor a villain said to be honorable.
6 #
Isa 3.15; 9.15, 16; 10.6; 59.7, 13 For fools speak folly,
and their minds plot iniquity:
to practice ungodliness,
to utter error concerning the LORD,
to leave the craving of the hungry unsatisfied,
and to deprive the thirsty of drink.

growing up in thorns and briers,
yes, for all the joyous houses
in the jubilant city.
14 #
Isa 6.11; 13.21, 22 For the palace will be forsaken,
the populous city deserted;
the hill and the watchtower
will become dens forever,
the joy of wild asses,
a pasture for flocks;
15 #
Isa 11.2; 29.17; 35.2; Ezek 39.29; Joel 2.28 until a spirit from on high is poured out on us,
and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field,
and the fruitful field is deemed a forest.

in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places.
