²⁵ And they will send out the oxen and the sheep on all the hills which before were worked with the spade, ... fear of blackberries and thorns.

¹⁷ Then the lambs will get food as in their grass-lands, and the fat cattle will be feasting in the waste places.

²¹ And it will be in that day that a man will give food to a young cow and two sheep;

²² And they will give so much milk that he will be able to have butter for his food: for butter and honey will be the food of all who are still living in the land.

²⁰ People will never be living in it again, and it will have no more men from generation to generation: the Arab will not put up his tent there; and those who keep sheep will not make it a resting-place for their flocks.

²¹ But the beasts of the waste land will have their holes there; and the houses will be full of crying jackals, and ostriches will have their place there, and evil spirits will be dancing there.

²² And wolves will be answering one another in their towers, and jackals in their houses of pleasure: her time is near, and her days of power will quickly be ended.

² Her towns are unpeopled for ever; there the flocks take their rest in peace, without fear.

⁶ And the land by the sea will be grass-land, with houses for keepers of sheep and walled places for flocks.
