Yesaya 32:16

32:16 Justice will settle down in the desert

and fairness will live in the orchard. ¹ 

Yesaya 32:18

32:18 My people will live in peaceful settlements,

in secure homes,

and in safe, quiet places. ² 

Yesaya 57:2

57:2 Those who live uprightly enter a place of peace;

they rest on their beds. ³ 

[32:16]  ¹ sn This new era of divine blessing will also include a moral/ethical transformation, as justice and fairness fill the land and replace the social injustice so prevalent in Isaiah’s time.

[32:18]  ² tn Or “in safe resting places”; NAB, NRSV “quiet resting places.”

[57:2]  ³ tn Heb “he enters peace, they rest on their beds, the one who walks straight ahead of himself.” The tomb is here viewed in a fairly positive way as a place where the dead are at peace and sleep undisturbed.
