Joel 2:15-27
15BlowH8628 the trumpetH7782 in ZionH6726, sanctifyH6942 a fastH6685, callH7121 a solemnH6116 assemblyH6116; 16gatherH6908 the peopleH5971, sanctifyH6942 the assemblyH6951, assemble the oldH2205 men, gatherH6908 the childrenH5768, and those that suckH3243 the breastsH7699; let the bridegroom goH3318 forthH3318 from his chamberH2315, and the brideH3618 out of her closet. 17Let the priestsH3548, the ministers of Jehovah, weepH1058 between the porchH197 and the altarH4196, and let them sayH559, Spare thy peopleH5971, O Jehovah, and giveH5414 not thy heritage to reproachH2781, that the nationsH1471 should ruleH4910 over them: wherefore should they sayH559 among the peoplesH5971, WhereH346 is their GodH430?
18Then was Jehovah jealousH7065 for his landH776, and had pityH2550 on his peopleH5971. 19And Jehovah answered and saidH559 unto his peopleH5971, Behold, I will sendH7971 you grainH1715, and newH8492 wineH8492, and oilH3323, and ye shall be satisfiedH7646 therewith; and I will no more makeH5414 you a reproachH2781 among the nationsH1471; 20but I will removeH7368 farH7368 off from you the northern army, and will driveH5080 it into a landH776 barren and desolate, its forepart into the easternH6931 seaH3220, and its hinder part into the westernH314 seaH3220; and its stenchH889 shall comeH5927 up, and its ill savor shall comeH5927 up, because it hath done greatH1431 thingsH1431.
21FearH3372 not, O landH127, be gladH8055 and rejoiceH8055; for Jehovah hath done greatH1431 thingsH1431. 22Be not afraidH3372, ye beasts of the fieldH7704; for the pastures of the wildernessH4057 do spring, for the treeH6086 beareth its fruitH6529, the fig-tree and the vineH1612 do yield their strengthH2428. 23Be gladH8055 then, ye children of ZionH6726, and rejoiceH8055 in Jehovah your GodH430; for he giveth you the formerH7223 rainH1653 in just measure, and he causeth to comeH3381 down for you the rainH1653, the formerH7223 rainH1653 and the latter rainH1653, in the firstH7223 month. 24And the floorsH1637 shall be fullH4390 of wheat, and the vats shall overflowH7783 with newH8492 wineH8492 and oilH3323. 25And I will restore to you the yearsH8141 that the locustH697 hath eatenH398, the canker-worm, and the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm, my greatH1419 armyH2428 which I sentH7971 among you. 26And ye shall eatH398 in plenty and be satisfiedH7646, and shall praiseH1984 the nameH8034 of Jehovah your GodH430, that hath dealt wondrously with you; and my peopleH5971 shall never be putH954 to shameH954. 27And ye shall knowH3045 that I am in the midstH7130 of IsraelH3478, and that I am Jehovah your GodH430, and there is none else; and my peopleH5971 shall never be putH954 to shameH954.
