The hills where you once planted crops will be overgrown with thorns and thistles. You will be afraid to go there, and your cattle, sheep, and goats will be turned loose on those hills.
The villages around Aroer will be deserted, with only sheep living there and no one to bother them.
His people will be like sheep grazing in their own pasture, and they will take off what was left by others.
They will settle everywhere--in the deep valleys and between the rocks, on every bush and all over the pastureland.
You will go there to hunt with your bow and arrows, because the whole country will be covered with thornbushes.
You are nothing more than a stubborn cow-- so stubborn that I, the LORD, cannot feed you like lambs in an open pasture.
Your seacoast will be changed into pastureland and sheep pens.
