⁶ I will make it a wasteland,^(A)
    neither pruned nor cultivated,
    and briers and thorns^(B) will grow there.
I will command the clouds
    not to rain^(C) on it.”

⁴ he is like the light^(A) of morning^(B) at sunrise^(C)
    on a cloudless morning,
like the brightness after rain^(D)
    that brings grass from the earth.’

⁶ May he be like rain^(A) falling on a mown field,
    like showers watering the earth.
