Isaiah 32:17
15 until the Spirit is poured out upon us from on high. Then the desert will be an orchard, and the orchard will seem like a forest.
16 Then justice will inhabit the wilderness, and righteousness will dwell in the fertile field.
The work of righteousness will be peace; the service of righteousness will be quiet confidence forever.
18 Then my people will dwell in a peaceful place, in safe and secure places of rest.
19 But hail will level the forest, and the city will sink to the depths.
