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

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

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

⁵ And I have given Rabbah for a habitation of camels, And the sons of Ammon for the crouching of a flock, And ye have known that I `am' Jehovah.

¹⁴ And crouched in her midst have droves, Every beast of the nation, Both pelican and hedge-hog in her knobs lodge, A voice doth sing at the window, `Destruction `is' at the threshold, For the cedar-work is exposed.'

¹⁵ This `is' the exulting city that is dwelling confidently, That is saying in her heart, `I `am', and beside me there is none,' How hath she been for a desolation, A crouching-place for beasts, Every one passing by her doth hiss, He doth shake his hand!
