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

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

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

⁵ And I will make Rabbah a place for housing camels, and the children of Ammon a resting-place for flocks: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

¹⁴ And herds will take their rest in the middle of her, all the beasts of the valley: the pelican and the porcupine will make their living-places on the tops of its pillars; the owl will be crying in the window; the raven will be seen on the doorstep.

¹⁵ This is the town which was full of joy, living without fear of danger, saying in her heart, I am, and there is no other: how has she been made waste, a place for beasts to take their rest in! everyone who goes by her will make hisses, waving his hand.
