15 until the SpiritA from on high is poured out on us.e

Then the desert will become an orchard,

and the orchard will seem like a forest.f

16 Then justice will inhabit the wilderness,

and righteousness will dwell in the orchard.

17 The result of righteousness will be peace;g

the effect of righteousness

will be quiet confidence forever.

18 Then my people will dwell in a peaceful place,

in safe and secure dwellings.

19 But hail will level the forest,B,h

and the city will sink into the depths.i

20 You will be happy as you sow seed

beside abundant water,j

and as you let oxen and donkeys range freely.k
