Isaiah 32:15-18

The terrible changes that verses 13-14 describe are not final. An even greater change will follow. That also will be the work of God’s spirit.

• There will be a new earth (verse 15). There will be new standards in a new society (verses 16-17). And there will be a new security for all to enjoy (verse 18).
