²⁵ All the hills that were cultivated with the hoe, you shall not come there for fear of briers and thorns; but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of sheep."

¹⁷ Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture, And strangers will eat the ruins of the rich.

²¹ It shall happen in that day that a man shall keep alive a young cow, and two sheep;

²² and it shall happen, that because of the abundance of milk which they shall give he shall eat butter: for everyone will eat butter and honey that is left in the midst of the land.

²⁰ It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be lived 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 animals 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 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 The sea coast will be pastures, with cottages for shepherds and folds for flocks.
