14. The fortress will be abandoned,the noisy city deserted;citadel and watchtower will become a wasteland for ever,the delight of donkeys, a pasture for flocks,
15. till the Spirit is poured on us from on high,and the desert becomes a fertile field,and the fertile field seems like a forest.
16. The Lord’s justice will dwell in the desert,his righteousness live in the fertile field.
17. The fruit of that righteousness will be peace;its effect will be quietness and confidence for ever.
18. My people will live in peaceful dwelling-places,in secure homes,in undisturbed places of rest.
