¹² “Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘There will again be in this place which is waste, ^(A)without man or beast, and in all its cities, a ^[a]habitation of shepherds who rest their ^(B)flocks. ¹³ In the ^(C)cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland, in the cities of the Negev, in the land of Benjamin, in the environs of Jerusalem and in the cities of Judah, the flocks will again ^(D)pass under the hands of the one who numbers them,’ says the Lord.
