¹¹ Let the wilderness and the cities of it lift up [their voice], the villages that Kedar does inhabit; let the inhabitants of Sela sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.

¹⁶ Then justice shall dwell in the wilderness; and righteousness shall abide in the fruitful field.

⁷ All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together to you, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister to you; they shall come up with acceptance on my altar; and I will glorify the house of my glory.

¹⁵ Behold, on the mountains the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace! Keep your feasts, Judah! Perform your vows, for the wicked one will no more pass through you. He is utterly cut off.

⁷ How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of good, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, Your God reigns!

¹⁸ I will open rivers on the bare heights, and springs in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.

¹⁹ I will put in the wilderness the cedar, the acacia, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, the pine, and the box tree together:

⁶ Then shall the lame man leap as a hart, and the tongue of the mute shall sing; for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.

¹⁶ For thus has the Lord said to me, Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, all the glory of Kedar shall fail;

⁵ Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, That I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

⁸ He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, From the River to the ends of the earth.

⁹ Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him. His enemies shall lick the dust.

¹⁰ The kings of Tarshish and of the isles will bring tribute. The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.

²³ Yahweh said to her, Two nations are in your womb, Two peoples will be separated from your body. The one people will be stronger than the other people. The elder will serve the younger.

³ The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high, who says in his heart, 'Who will bring me down to the ground?'

¹⁶ As for your terror, the pride of your heart has deceived you, O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, who hold the height of the hill: though you should make your nest as high as the eagle, I will bring you down from there, says Yahweh.

²⁸ You inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock; and be like the dove that makes her nest over the mouth of the abyss.

¹³ Behold, I am against you, O inhabitant of the valley, [and] of the rock of the plain, says Yahweh; you that say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations?

¹⁹ Behold, I will do a new thing; now shall it spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

³ The voice of one who cries, Prepare you in the wilderness the way of Yahweh; make level in the desert a highway for our God.

¹ The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

¹ Send you the lambs for the ruler of the land from Selah to the wilderness, to the mountain of the daughter of Zion.
