²³ It shall happen in that day,
That wherever there could be a thousand vines
Worth a thousand shekels of silver,
^(A)It will be for briers and thorns.
²⁴ With arrows and bows men will come there,
Because all the land will become briers and thorns.

²⁵ And to any hill which could be dug with the hoe,
You will not go there for fear of briers and thorns;
But it will become a range for oxen
And a place for sheep to roam.
