“They shall no more
Be plunder
For the nations.
The wild animals
Of the land
Shall not devour them.
They shall live
In safety.
No one
Shall make them
Afraid.
I will provide
For them
A splendid vegetation.
Thus,
They will no longer
Be consumed
With hunger
In the land.
They will no longer
Suffer the insults
Of the nations.”
Once they were back in their land, the Israelites would no longer become plunder for the various nations. The wild animals in the land would not devour them. They would live in safety, since no one would make them afraid. Yahweh was going to provide for them with splendid vegetation. They would never have to worry about hunger in their land. They would no longer suffer any insults from the various nations.
