Isaiah 32:13

Isa 32:13 Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns [and] briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy [in] the joyous city:

Ver. 13. Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns. ] Here the prophet proceedeth to denounce the destruction of the land that should one day come by the Babylonians; and yet he foretelleth that afterwards God shall receive them into favour, and restore unto them such a kingdom as wherein righteousness and peace shall meet and mutually salute.

In the joyous city. ] Or, Revelling city. See Isaiah 22:2 ; Isa 22:13 Zephaniah 2:15 .
