You will silence the loud boasting of enemies, like how a cloud's shadow cools the scorching heat in a desert place. The power of ruthless oppressors will be brought down low.

Until the Spirit is poured out on us from heaven, and the desert becomes fertile farmland, and the fertile farmland grows as thick as a forest.

The wilderness and lonely places will be filled with joy because of them; the desert will celebrate and bloom with beautiful flowers like roses.
