14 For the palace is forsaken,
    the populous city deserted;
the hill and the watchtower
    will become dens forever,
(A)a joy of wild donkeys,
    a pasture of flocks;
15 until (B)the Spirit is poured upon us from on high,
    and (C)the wilderness becomes a fruitful field,
    and the fruitful field is deemed a forest.
16 Then justice will dwell in the wilderness,
    and righteousness abide in the fruitful field.
17 (D)And the effect of righteousness will be peace,
    and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust[a] forever.
18 My people will abide in a peaceful habitation,
    in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places.
19 (E)And it will hail when the forest falls down,
    (F)and the city will be utterly laid low.
20 (G)Happy are you who sow beside all waters,
    who let the feet of the ox and the donkey range free.
