12-15 Here is my description of[a] a truly happy land where Jehovah is God:

Sons vigorous and tall as growing plants.

Daughters of graceful beauty like the pillars of a palace wall.

Barns full to the brim with crops of every kind.

Sheep by the thousands out in our fields.

Oxen loaded down with produce.

No enemy attacking the walls, but peace everywhere.

No crime in our streets.

Yes, happy are those whose God is Jehovah.

13 Our barns will be filled(A)
    with every kind of provision.
Our sheep will increase by thousands,
    by tens of thousands in our fields;
14     our oxen(B) will draw heavy loads.[a]
There will be no breaching of walls,(C)
    no going into captivity,
    no cry of distress in our streets.(D)
15 Blessed is the people(E) of whom this is true;
    blessed is the people whose God is the Lord.
