9
Rise up, you (A)women who are at ease,
And hear my voice;
(B)Give ear to my word,
You complacent daughters.
10
Within a year and a few days
You will be troubled, O complacent daughters;
(C)For the vintage is ended,
And the fruit gathering will not come.
11
Tremble, you women who are at ease;
(D)Be troubled, you complacent daughters;
(E)Strip, undress and put sackcloth on your waist,
12
(F)Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine,
13
(G)For the land of my people in which thorns and briars shall come up;
Yea, for all the joyful houses and for the (H)jubilant city.
14
Because (I)the palace has been abandoned, the (a)populated (J)city forsaken.
(b)Hill and watch-tower have become (K)caves forever,
A delight for (L)wild donkeys, a pasture for flocks;
15
Until the (M)Spirit is poured out upon us from on high,
And the wilderness becomes a (N)fertile field,
And the fertile field is considered as a forest.
