14For the fair houses will have no man living in them; the town which was full of noise will become a waste; the hill and the watchtower will be unpeopled for ever, a joy for the asses of the woods, a place of food for the flocks;
15Till the spirit comes on us from on high, and the waste land becomes a fertile field, and the fertile field is changed into a wood.
16Then in the waste land there will be an upright rule, and righteousness will have its place in the fertile field.
17And the work of righteousness will be peace; and the effect of an upright rule will be to take away fear for ever.
18And my people will be living in peace, in houses where there is no fear, and in quiet resting-places.
19But the tall trees will come down with a great fall, and the town will be low in a low place.
20Happy are you who are planting seed by all the waters, and sending out the ox and the ass.
