Joel 2:18-27

Then Yahweh ¹will be ^azealous for His land

And ²will ^bspare His people.

Then Yahweh ¹will answer and say to His people,

“Behold, I am going to ^asend you grain, new wine, and oil,

And you will be satisfied in full with ²them;

And I will ^bnever again make you a reproach among the nations.

But I will remove the ^anorthern military force far from you,

And I will drive it into a parched and desolate land,

And its vanguard into the ^beastern sea,

And its rear guard into the ^cwestern sea.

And its ^dstench will rise up, and its foul smell will rise up,

For it has done great things.”

^aDo not fear, O land, rejoice and be glad,

For Yahweh has done ^bgreat things.

Do not fear, beasts of the field,

For the ^apastures of the wilderness have turned green,

For the tree has borne its fruit;

The fig tree and the vine have yielded ¹their full force.

So rejoice, O ^asons of Zion,

And ^bbe glad in Yahweh your God,

For He has ^cgiven you ¹the early rain in righteousness.

And He has poured down for you the rain,

The ²early and ³^dlate rains ⁴as before.

The threshing floors will be full of grain,

And the vats will ^aoverflow with the new wine and oil.

“Then I will pay back to you in full for the years

That the swarming ^alocust has consumed,

The creeping locust, the stripping locust, and the gnawing locust,

My great military force which I sent among you.

And you will have plenty to ^aconsume and be satisfied

And ^bpraise the name of Yahweh your God,

Who has ^cdealt wondrously with you;

Then My people will ^dnever be put to shame.

Thus you will ^aknow that I am in the midst of Israel,

And that I am Yahweh your God,

And there is ^bno other;

And My people will never be ^cput to shame.
