17 And the (A)work of righteousness will be peace,
And the service of righteousness, (B)quietness and [a]confidence forever.
18 Then my people will live in a (C)peaceful settlement,
In secure dwellings, and in undisturbed (D)resting places;
19 And it will (E)hail when the (F)forest comes down,
And (G)the city will be utterly laid low.
20 How (H)blessed will you be, you who sow beside all waters,
Who [b]let the ox and the donkey out freely.
