²⁵ And all the hills that were digged with the mattock, thou shalt not come thither for fear of briers and thorns; but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of sheep.

¹⁷ Then shall the lambs feed as in their pasture, and the waste places of the fat ones shall wanderers eat.

²¹ And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall keep alive a young cow, and two sheep;

²² and it shall come to pass, that because of the abundance of milk which they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the midst of the land.

²⁰ It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall shepherds make their flocks to lie down there.

²¹ But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and ostriches shall dwell there, and wild goats shall dance there.

²² And wolves shall cry in their castles, and jackals in the pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.

² The cities of Aroer are forsaken; they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.

⁶ And the sea-coast shall be pastures, with cottages for shepherds and folds for flocks.
