²⁵ And all the hills that with a mattock are kept in order, Thither cometh not the fear of brier and thorn, And it hath been for the sending forth of ox, And for the treading of sheep!'

¹⁷ And fed have lambs according to their leading, And waste places of the fat ones Do sojourners consume.

²¹ And it hath come to pass, in that day, A man keepeth alive a heifer of the herd, And two of the flock,

²² And it hath come to pass, From the abundance of the yielding of milk he eateth butter, For butter and honey doth every one eat Who is left in the heart of the land.

²⁰ She doth not sit for ever, Nor continueth unto many generations, Nor doth Arab pitch tent there, And shepherds lie not down there.

²¹ And Ziim have lain down there, And full have been their houses of howlings, And dwelt there have daughters of an ostrich, And goats do skip there.

²² And Aiim have responded in his forsaken habitations, And dragons in palaces of delight, And near to come `is' her time, And her days are not drawn out!

² Forsaken are the cities of Aroer, For droves they are, and they have lain down, And there is none troubling.

⁶ And the sea-coast hath been habitations, Cottages `for' shepherds, and folds `for' a flock.
