14. The palace will be empty;people will leave the noisy city.Strong cities and towers will be empty.Wild donkeys will love to live there, and sheep will go there to eat.
15. This will continue until God pours his Spirit from above upon us.Then the desert will be like a fertile fieldand the fertile field like a forest.
16. Justice will be found even in the desert,and fairness will be found in the fertile fields.
17. That fairness will bring peace,and it will bring calm and safety forever.
18. My people will live in peaceful placesand in safe homesand in calm places of rest.
19. Hail will destroy the forest,and the city will be completely destroyed.
20. But you will be happy as you plant seeds near every streamand as you let your cattle and donkeys wander freely.
