13oUpon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers;

||Yea, upon all the houses of joy in qthe joyous city:

14rBecause the palaces shall be forsaken;

The multitude of the city shall be left;

The ||sforts and towers shall be for dens for ever,

rA joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;

15Until tthe spirit be poured upon us from on high,

And uthe wilderness be a fruitful field,

vAnd the fruitful field be counted for a forest.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

for the soil of my people

growing up in thorns and briers,

yes, for all the joyous houses

in the exultant city.

For the palace is forsaken,

the populous city deserted;

the hill and the watchtower

will become dens forever,

a joy of wild donkeys,

a pasture of flocks;

until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high,

and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field,

and the fruitful field is deemed a forest.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

and for the land of my people,

a land overgrown with thorns and briers—

yes, mourn for all houses of merriment

and for this city of revelry.

The fortress will be abandoned,

the noisy city deserted;

citadel and watchtower will become a wasteland forever,

the delight of donkeys, a pasture for flocks,

till the Spirit is poured on us from on high,

and the desert becomes a fertile field,

and the fertile field seems like a forest.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

for the ground of my people

growing thorns and briers,

indeed, for every joyous house in the jubilant city.

For the palace will be deserted,

the busy city abandoned.

The hill and the watchtower will become

barren places forever,

the joy of wild donkeys,

and a pasture for flocks,

until the Spirit from on high is poured out on us.

Then the desert will become an orchard,

and the orchard will seem like a forest.

NLTNew Living Translation

For your land will be overgrown with thorns and briers.

Your joyful homes and happy towns will be gone.

The palace and the city will be deserted,

and busy towns will be empty.

Wild donkeys will frolic and flocks will graze

in the empty forts and watchtowers

until at last the Spirit is poured out

on us from heaven.

Then the wilderness will become a fertile field,

and the fertile field will yield bountiful crops.

over the soil of my people.

It goes up in thorns and briers,

indeed over all of the houses of joy in the jubilant city.

For the palace will be forsaken,

the crowded city deserted;

the hill and the watchtower will become a cave forever,

the joy of wild asses, a pasture for flocks.

Until a spirit is poured out on us from on high,

and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field,

and the fruitful field is reckoned as the forest.
