12They shall strike on the breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
13On the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yes, on all the houses of joy in the joyous city.
14For the palace shall be forsaken; the populous city shall be deserted; the hill and the watch-tower shall be for dens forever, a joy of wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks;
15until the Spirit be poured on us from on high, and the wilderness become a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be esteemed as a forest.
16Then justice shall dwell in the wilderness; and righteousness shall abide in the fruitful field.
17The work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.
18My people shall abide in a peaceable habitation, and in safe dwellings, and in quiet resting-places.
