So shall the line of the sea become a meadow, the wells of shepherds, and the folds of flocks;

So shall lie down in her midst - flocks, each living thing of a nation, both pelican and bittern, in her capitals, shall roost, - a voice, shall resound in the window, the bustard, on the sill, for he hath destroyed, hath laid bare.

So will I leave remaining in thy midst, a people oppressed and poor, - who will seek refuge in the name of Yahweh:

Now, therefore, I pray you apply your heart, from this day and upwards, - So long as there had not been laid one stone upon another in the temple of Yahweh,

And he spake, saying, These, are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man lifted up his head, but these others have come in to put them in fear, to cast down the horns of the nations, the which have lifted up the horn against the land of Judah to scatter her.

So he said unto him, Run, speak unto this young man, saying: Like open villages, shall Jerusalem remain, for the multitude of men and cattle in her midst;

Then shall many nations, join themselves, unto Yahweh, in that day, and shall become my people, - and I will make my habitation in thy midst, so shalt thou know that, Yahweh of hosts, hath sent me unto thee.
