Isaiah 32:12-14

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹² Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields,
    for the fruitful vine,
¹³ for the soil of my people
    growing up in thorns and briers;
yes, for all the joyous houses
    in the jubilant city.
¹⁴ 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;
