mountains--once cultivated and fruitful: the hillsides were cultivated in terraces between the rocks.

habitations of ... wilderness--rather, "the pleasant herbage (literally, 'the choice parts' of any thing) of the pasture plain." The Hebrew for "wilderness" expresses not a barren desert, but an untilled plain, fit for pasture.

burned up--because no one waters them, the inhabitants being all gone.

none can pass through them--much less inhabit them.
