10 In a little less than a yearyou overconfident women will tremble,because the grape harvest will failand no fruit will be brought in ⌊from the fields⌋.
11 Shudder, you pampered women.Tremble, you overconfident women.Take off your clothes, walk around naked,and wear sackcloth around your waists.
12 Beat your breasts as you mourn for the fields,for the vines bearing grapes.
13 Mourn for my people’s land where thorns and briars will grow.Mourn for all the happy homes in a joyful city.
14 Palaces will be deserted.Noisy cities will be abandoned.Fortresses and watchtowers will become permanent caves.They will be a delight for wild donkeys and pastures for flocks
15 until the Spirit is poured on us from on high.Then the wilderness will be turned into a fertile field,and the fertile field will be considered a forest.
16 Then justice will live in the wilderness,and righteousness will be at home in the fertile field.
