Contextual Overview
9Rise up, you women who are at ease,And hear my voice;Give ear to my word,You complacent daughters. 10Within a year and a few daysYou will quake, O complacent daughters;For the grape harvest is ended,And the fruit gathering will not come. 11Tremble, you women who are at ease;Quake, you complacent daughters;Strip, undress, and put sackcloth on your waist, 12Beat your breasts for the desirable fields, for the fruitful vine, 13For the land of my people in which thorns and briars shall come up,Indeed, against all the joyful houses and the exultant city. 14Because the palace has been abandoned, the populated city forsaken.Hill and watchtower have become caves forever,A joy for wild donkeys, a pasture for flocks, 15Until the Spirit is poured out upon us from on high,And the wilderness becomes a fruitful orchard,And the fruitful orchard is counted as a forest. 16Then justice will dwell in the wilderness,And righteousness will live in the fruitful orchard. 17And the work of righteousness will be peace,And the service of righteousness, quietness and security forever. 18Then my people will live in a peaceful abode,And in secure dwellings and in undisturbed resting places;

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness,.... In the desert part of the world, inhabited by Pagans, Papists, and Mahometans; where the Scriptures, the rule of judgment, and where the Gospel, sometimes called the judgment of the Lord, Isaiah 51:4 had no place, now they shall have one, and an abiding one; and men of judgment in spiritual and evangelical things, and such as do justice and judgment, shall dwell there:
and righteousness remain in the fruitful field; both the doctrine and practice of righteousness shall continue in the church of God, which will be the glory of it; the righteous men will be the settled constant inhabitants of it; these will be all righteous at this time,
Isaiah 60:21 not only by profession, but in truth and reality; at least the far greater part; so the Targum interprets it of those that do judgment and do righteousness.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Then judgment shall dwell - Or, justice shall make its appropriate dwelling-place there.
In the wilderness - In the place that was a wilderness, but that shall now be turned to a fruitful field.
In the fruitful field - In the nation that is like a fruitful field; in Judea restored.
