14. For the palace will be forsaken,the busy city abandoned.The hill and the watchtower will becomebarren places forever,the joy of wild donkeys,and a pasture for flocks,
15. until the Spirit from heaven is poured out on us. Then the desert will become an orchard,and the orchard will seem like a forest.
16. Then justice will inhabit the wilderness,and righteousness will dwell in the orchard.
17. The result of righteousness will be peace; the effect of righteousnesswill be quiet confidence forever.
18. Then my people will dwell in a peaceful place,in safe and secure dwellings.
19. But hail will level the forest, and the city will sink into the depths.
20. Those who sow seed are happybeside abundant waters; they let ox and donkey range freely.
