32:16-17 So shall justice inhabit the desert, and righteousness abide in the farmland. And the effect of justice shall be peace, and the result of righteousness an assured calm forever.
Jehovah's elect, those among whom his servant-Jehovah's righteousness (Isaiah 41:2; 46:11-13)-restores justice and righteousness (Isaiah 1:25-27; 9:6-7; 42:1-4; 51:1), receive permanent lands of inheritance in the millennial age as a covenant blessing (Isaiah 49:8; 54:3; 58:12, 14; 60:21). The materialistic economy that enslaved them before Jehovah's Day of Judgment is entirely replaced by an agrarian one. While "there is no peace for the wicked" (Isaiah 48:22; 57:21), those whose lives exemplify justice and righteousness Jehovah grants everlasting peace (Isaiah 33:20; 54:10; 57:2; 66:12).
32:18, 20 My people shall dwell in peaceful settlements, in safe neighborhoods, in comfortable dwellings. Blessed are you, who shall then sow by all waters, letting oxen and asses range free.
Jehovah's people who live into the millennial age inherit peace and safety for themselves and their descendants: "All your children shall be taught by Jehovah, and great shall be the peace of your posterity. You shall be firmly established through righteousness; you will be far from oppression and have no cause to fear, far from ruin, for it shall not approach you" (Isaiah 54:13-14). For them, the land yields bounteously: "Then will he water with rain the seed you sow in the ground, that the land's increase of food may be rich and abundant. In that day shall your cattle graze in ample pasturelands" (Isaiah 30:23).
