14 Because the palace is forsaken; the multitude of the city is deserted; and the beautiful houses have become dens for ever, thorns, and a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks; 15 Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness become a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest. 16 Then justice shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field. 17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance for ever. 18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceful habitation and in sure tabernacles and in a resting place of hope. 19 And hail shall come down on the forest, and the city shall be made low like a plain. 20 Blessed are you who sow beside all waters, the place which is trodden under the feet of the ox and the ass.
