10In little more than a year
you who feel secure will tremble;
the grape harvest will fail,
and the harvest of fruit will not come.

11Tremble, you complacent women;
shudder, you daughters who feel secure!
Strip off your clothes,
put sackcloth around your waists.

12Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields,
for the fruitful vines

13and for the land of my people,
a land overgrown with thorns and briers—
yes, mourn for all houses of merriment
and for this city of revelry.

14The fortress will be abandoned,
the noisy city deserted;
citadel and watchtower will become a wasteland forever,
the delight of donkeys, a pasture for flocks,

17The fruit of righteousness will be peace;
the effect of righteousness will be quietness and confidence forever.

18My people will live in peaceful dwelling places,
in secure homes,
in undisturbed places of rest.

19Though hail flattens the forest
and the city is leveled completely,

20how blessed you will be,
sowing your seed by every stream,
and letting your cattle and donkeys range free.
