“Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.”

Justice will settle down in the wilderness and fairness will live in the orchard.
Fairness will produce peace and result in lasting security.
My people will live in peaceful settlements, in secure homes, and in safe, quiet places.
