²⁴ Judah and all its cities will ^(A)live together in it, the farmers and those who travel with flocks.

¹² “This is what the Lord of armies says: ‘There will again be in this place which is waste, ^(A)without man or animal, and in all its cities, a pasture for shepherds who rest their ^(B)flocks.

¹³ In the ^(A)cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland, in the cities of the Negev, in the land of Benjamin, in the areas surrounding Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flocks will again ^(B)pass under the hands of the one who counts them,’ says the Lord.
