80 Shepherd of Israel, listen!
    You, the one who leads Joseph as if he were a sheep.
    You, who are enthroned upon the winged heavenly creatures.
Show yourself ² before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh!
    Wake up your power!
    Come to save us!
³ Restore us, God!
    Make your face shine so that we can be saved!

⁹ Women of leisure, stand up! Hear my voice!
    Carefree daughters, listen to my word!
¹⁰ In a little over a year,
    the carefree will shudder,
    because the grape harvest will fail;
    the vintage won’t arrive.
¹¹ Tremble, all of you who are at ease;
    shudder, all of you who are secure!
Strip yourselves, bare your skin,
    and tie mourning clothes around your waist,
¹²     beating your breasts for the pleasant fields,
    for the fruitful vine,
¹³     for my people’s soil
    growing barbs and thorns,
    for all the joyous houses
    in the jubilant town.
¹⁴ The palace will be deserted,
    the crowded city abandoned.
Stronghold and watchtower
    will become empty fields forever,
    suited for the pleasure of wild donkeys,
    and a pasture for flocks—
¹⁵     until a spirit from on high
    is poured out on us,
    and the desert turns into farmland, and the farmland is considered a forest.
¹⁶ Then justice will reside in wild lands,
    and righteousness will abide in farmlands.
¹⁷ The fruit of righteousness will be peace,
    and the outcome of righteousness,
    calm and security forever.
¹⁸ Then my people will live in a peaceful dwelling,
    in secure homes, in carefree resting places.
¹⁹ Even if the forest falls^[a]
        and the humbled city is laid low,
²⁰     those who sow beside any stream will be happy,
    sending out ox and donkey to graze.
