11. Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins.
12. They shall smite upon the breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
13. Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city:
14. For the palace shall be forsaken; the populous city shall be deserted; the hill and the watch-tower shall be for dens for ever, 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 judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness shall abide in the fruitful field.
17. And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and confidence for ever.
18. And my people shall abide in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places.
19. But it shall hail, in the downfall of the forest; and the city shall be utterly laid low.
20. Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth the feet of the ox and the ass.
