You will go there to hunt with your bow and arrows, because the whole country will be covered with thorn bushes.
So take your bow and arrows, then go out in the fields, and kill a wild animal.
Your food will be plants, but the ground will produce thorns and thistles.
Cypress and myrtle trees will grow in fields once covered by thorns. And then those trees will stand as a lasting witness to the glory of the LORD.
They will settle everywhere—in the deep valleys and between the rocks, on every bush and all over the pasture land.
Vineyards that had a thousand vines and were worth a thousand pieces of silver will turn into thorn patches.
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.
Every town will lie in ruins, and the land will be a barren desert. Then they will know that I am the LORD.
