Context The Women of Jerusalem
9Rise up, you women that are at ease; hear my voice, you careless daughters; give ear to my speech. 10Many days and years shall you be troubled, you careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come. 11Tremble, you women that are at ease; be troubled, you careless ones: strip you, and make you bore, and gird sackcloth on your loins. 12They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine. 13On the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yes, on all the houses of joy in the joyous city: 14Because 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; 15Until the spirit be poured on us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest. 16Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field. 17And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever. 18And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places; 19When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place. 20Blessed are you that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass.
