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 citiesof Aroerare forsaken;They will be for flocksto liedownin, And therewill be nooneto frighten[them].
Then the lambswill grazeas in their pasture,And strangerswill eatin the wasteplacesof the wealthy.
They will allcomeand settleon the steepravines,on the ledgesof the cliffs,on allthe thornbushesand on allthe wateringplaces.
[People] will cometherewith bowsand arrowsbecauseallthe landwill be briarsand thorns.
SinceIsraelis stubbornLike a stubbornheifer,Can the LORDnowpasturethem Like a lambin a largefield?
So the seacoastwill be pastures,[With] cavesfor shepherdsand foldsfor flocks.
