那时，羊羔必来吃草，如同在自己的草场；丰肥人的荒场被游行的人吃尽。

羔羊必来吃草，如同在自己的草场；在富有人的废墟，流浪的牲畜也来吃。

斯時羔羊齧芻、如在己苑、富厚者之荒田、旅人食其所產、○

富厚者之田宅、今皆荒蕪、異邦之人、牽羊以至、隨意嚙蒭、

斯時也、羔羊羔羊或作羊群囓草、如於己之牧場、富厚者之田荒蕪、異邦人必來食享、

Then sheep will graze as in their own pasture; lambs will feed among the ruins of the rich.

Then shall the lambs graze as in their pasture, and nomads shall eat among the ruins of the rich.

In that day lambs will find good pastures, and fattened sheep and young goats will feed among the ruins.

Lambs will graze as if in their own pastures, and resident aliens will eat among the ruins of the rich.

Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture, And strangers will eat in the ruins of the wealthy.

Then the lambs shall feed in their pasture, And in the waste places of the fat ones strangers shall eat.

Then shall the lambs feed as in their pasture, and the waste places of the fat ones shall wanderers eat.

Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture, and strangers will eat the ruins of the rich.

All the hills used to be plowed with hoes. But you won’t go there anymore. That’s because you will be afraid of the thorns and bushes. Cattle will be turned loose on those hills. Sheep will also run there.

The land by the sea will become grasslands. It will have wells for shepherds and pens for flocks.

Flocks and herds will lie down there. So will creatures of every kind. Desert owls and screech owls will rest on its pillars. The sound of their hooting will echo through the windows. The doorways will be full of trash. The cedar beams will be showing.

Some will be killed by the sword. Others will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be taken over by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles come to an end.

They have grown fat and heavy. There is no limit to the evil things they do. In court they do not seek justice. They don’t protect the rights of children whose fathers have died. They do not stand up for poor people.

They make their hearts hard and stubborn. Their mouths speak with pride.

Lord, by your power save me from people like that. They belong to this world. They get their reward in this life. May what you have stored up for evil people fill their bellies. May their children’s stomachs be filled with it. And may there even be leftovers for their little ones.

Listen to the Lord’ s message, you women who live on the hill of Samaria. You treat poor people badly. You crush those who are in need. You say to your husbands,“ Bring us some drinks!” But you are already as fat as the cows in Bashan.The Lord and King has made a promise by his own holy name. He says,“ You can be sure that the time will come when your enemies will put hooks in your faces. They will lead every one of you away with fishhooks.Each of you will go straight out through gaps made in the wall. You will be thrown out toward Harmon,” announces the Lord.

Many sins come out of their hard and stubborn hearts. There is no limit to the evil things they can think up.

Their flocks will eat in the rich grasslands of Sharon. Their herds will rest in the Valley of Achor. That is what I will do for my people who follow me.

The cities of Aroer will be deserted. They will be left to the flocks that lie down there. No one will make them afraid.

So the Lord who rules over all will send a sickness. The Lord will send it on the king of Assyria’s strong fighting men. It will make them weaker and weaker. The army he was so proud of will be completely destroyed. It will be as if it had been burned up in a fire.

Your country has been deserted. Your cities have been burned down. The food from your fields is being eaten up by outsiders. They are doing it right in front of you. Your land has been completely destroyed. It looks as if strangers have taken it over.

The Lord says,“ Worshiping other gods is like worshiping the wind. It is like planting worthless seeds. Assyria is like a windstorm. That is all my people will harvest. There are no heads of grain on the stems that will come up. So they will not produce any flour. Even if they did produce grain, the Assyrians would eat all of it up.

Their unfeeling hearts are hard and stubborn. But I take delight in your law.

When Israel grew fat, they became stubborn. When they were filled with food, they became fat and heavy. They left the God who made them. They turned away from the Rock who saved them.

At that time a person may only be able to keep alive one young cow and two goats.But they will give plenty of milk to live on. In fact, everyone left in the land will only have milk curds and honey to eat.

“ People of Jacob, I will gather all of you. I will bring together you who are still left alive in Israel. I will gather you together like sheep in a pen. You will be like a flock in its grasslands. Your country will be filled with people.

The royal palace will be left empty. The noisy city will be deserted. The fort and lookout tower will become a dry and empty desert forever. Donkeys will enjoy being there. Flocks will eat there.

He takes care of his flock like a shepherd. He gathers the lambs in his arms. He carries them close to his heart. He gently leads those that have little ones.

The land you gave us has been turned over to outsiders. Our homes have been given to strangers.

But we have sinned against you. So its great harvest goes to the kings of Persia. You have placed them over us. They rule over our bodies and cattle just as they please. And we are suffering terribly.

A nation you don’t know anything about will eat what you work to produce on your land. You will only be treated badly as long as you live.
