[People] will cometherewith bowsand arrowsbecauseallthe landwill be briarsand thorns.
"Nowthen, pleasetakeyour gear,your quiverand your bow,and goout to the fieldand huntgamefor me;
"Both thornsand thistlesit shall growfor you; And you will eatthe plantsof the field;
"Insteadof the thornbushthe cypresswill comeup, And insteadof the nettlethe myrtlewill comeup, And it will be a memorialto the LORD,For an everlastingsignwhich will not be cutoff."
They will allcomeand settleon the steepravines,on the ledgesof the cliffs,on allthe thornbushesand on allthe wateringplaces.
And it will comeabout in that day,that everyplacewherethere used to be a thousandvines,[valued] at a thousand[shekels] of silver,will becomebriarsand thorns.
As for allthe hillswhichused to be cultivatedwith the hoe,you will not gotherefor fearof briarsand thorns;but they will becomea placefor pasturingoxenand for sheepto trample.
"The inhabitedcitieswill be laidwasteand the landwill be a desolation.So you will knowthat I am the LORD."'"
