⁶ The sea coast will be pastures, with cottages for shepherds and folds for flocks.

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

² The cities of Aroer are forsaken; they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.

⁵ I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the children of Ammon a couching-place for flocks: and you shall know that I am Yahweh.

¹⁴ Herds will lie down in the midst of her, all the animals of the nations. Both the pelican and the porcupine will lodge in its capitals. Their calls will echo through the windows. Desolation will be in the thresholds, for he has laid bare the cedar beams.

¹⁵ This is the joyous city that lived carelessly, that said in her heart, "I am, and there is none besides me." How she has become a desolation, a place for animals to lie down in! Everyone who passes by her will hiss, and shake their fists.
