¹¹ Let the waste land and its flocks be glad, the tent-circles of Kedar; let the people of the rock give a glad cry, from the top of the mountains let them make a sound of joy.

¹⁶ Then in the waste land there will be an upright rule, and righteousness will have its place in the fertile field.

⁷ All the flocks of Kedar will come together to you, the sheep of Nebaioth will be ready for your need; they will be pleasing offerings on my altar, and my house of prayer will be beautiful.

⁷ How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who comes with good news, who gives word of peace, saying that salvation is near; who says to Zion, Your God is ruling!

¹⁸ I will make rivers on the dry mountain-tops, and fountains in the valleys: I will make the waste land a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.

¹⁹ I will put in the waste land the cedar, the acacia, the myrtle, and the olive-tree; and in the lowland will be planted the fir-tree, the plane, and the cypress together:

⁶ Then will the feeble-footed be jumping like a roe, and the voice which was stopped will be loud in song: for in the waste land streams will be bursting out, and waters in the dry places.

¹⁶ For so has the Lord said to me, In a year, by the years of a servant working for payment, all the glory of Kedar will come to an end:

⁵ Sorrow is mine because I am strange in Meshech, and living in the tents of Kedar.

⁸ Let his kingdom be from sea to sea, from the River to the ends of the earth.

⁹ Let those who are against him go down before him; and let his haters be low in the dust.

¹⁰ Let the kings of Tarshish and of the islands come back with offerings; let the kings of Sheba and Seba give of their stores.

²³ And the Lord said to her, Two nations are in your body, and two peoples will come to birth from you: the one will be stronger than the other, and the older will be the servant of the younger.

³ You have been tricked by the pride of your heart, O you whose living-place is in the cracks of the rock, whose house is high up; who has said in his heart, Who will make me come down to earth?

¹⁶ ... the pride of your heart has been a false hope, O you who are living in the cracks of the rock, keeping your place on the top of the hill: even if you made your living-place as high as the eagle, I would make you come down, says the Lord.

²⁸ O people of Moab, go away from the towns and take cover in the rock; be like the dove of the Arabah, which makes her living-place in holes.

¹³ See, I am against you, you who are living on the rock of the valley, says the Lord; you who say, Who will come down against us? or who will get into our houses?

¹⁹ See, I am doing a new thing; now it is starting; will you not take note of it? I will even make a way in the waste land, and rivers in the dry country.

³ A voice of one crying, Make ready in the waste land the way of the Lord, make level in the lowland a highway for our God.

¹ The waste land and the dry places will be glad; the lowland will have joy and be full of flowers.

¹ And they will send ... to the mountain of the daughter of Zion.
