Sharon will become a pasture for flocks and the Valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down, reversing desolation into fertility and pastoral peace. The specific geographic references suggest actual restoration of land. The pastoral imagery indicates return to productive normalcy and peace. The valley name (Achor means trouble) suggests transformation of cursed places into blessed ones. This verse's vision of geographic transformation complements the human transformation already promised: the land itself is restored alongside the people. The promise asserts comprehensive renewal: human, moral, and ecological.
