Isaiah 5:17

⁶The sea coast will be pastures, with cottages for shepherds and folds for flocks.

²⁵All the hills that were cultivated with the hoe, you shall not come there for fear of briers and thorns; but it shall be for the sending out of oxen, and for sheep to tread on.”

¹⁴Herds will lie down in the middle of her, all kinds of animals. Both the pelican and the porcupine will lodge in its capitals. Their calls will echo through the windows. Desolation will be in the thresholds, for he has laid bare the cedar beams.

⁷Their eyes bulge with fat. Their minds pass the limits of conceit.

¹⁰Sharon will be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down in, for my people who have sought me.

⁷For they sow the wind, and they will reap the whirlwind. He has no standing grain. The stalk will yield no head. If it does yield, strangers will swallow it up.

²Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, our houses to aliens.

¹²I will surely assemble all of you, Jacob. I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the middle of their pasture. They will swarm with people.

²¹It shall happen in that day that a man shall keep alive a young cow, and two sheep. ²²It shall happen, that because of the abundance of milk which they shall give he shall eat butter, for everyone will eat butter and honey that is left within the land.

¹⁰They close up their callous hearts. With their mouth they speak proudly.
