    and I will force it into a dry and barren land.
        The soldiers in front will be forced into the eastern sea.
        The soldiers in back will be forced into the western sea.
            A foul odor will rise from the dead bodies.
                They will stink.”

He has done great things!
21 Land, do not be afraid.
    Be glad and rejoice.

        The trees have produced their fruit.
            There are plenty of figs and grapes.
