⁶ And you, O seacoast, shall be pastures,
    meadows for shepherds,
    and folds for flocks.^(A)

² Her towns will be deserted forever;^[a]
    they will be places for flocks,
    which will lie down, and no one will make them afraid.^(A)

²⁰ It will never be inhabited
    or lived in for all generations;
Arabs will not pitch their tents there;
    shepherds will not make their flocks lie down there.^(A)
21 But wild animals will lie down there,
    and its houses will be full of howling creatures;
there ostriches will live,
    and there goat-demons will dance.^(B)
22 Hyenas will cry in its towers
    and jackals in the pleasant palaces;
its time is close at hand;
    and its days will not be prolonged.^(C)

¹⁷ Then the lambs shall graze as in their pasture;
    fatted calves and kids^[a] shall feed among the ruins.
