15. This desolation will continue until new life is poured out on us from heaven.Then the desert will become an orchardand the orchard will be considered a forest.
16. Justice will settle down in the desertand fairness will live in the orchard.
17. Fairness will produce peaceand result in lasting security.
18. My people will live in peaceful settlements,in secure homes,and in safe, quiet places.
19. Even if the forest is destroyedand the city is annihilated,
20. you will be blessed,you who plant seed by all the banks of the streams,you who let your ox and donkey graze.
