Joel 2:18-32
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.
28And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my Spirit. 30And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. 31The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of Jehovah cometh. 32And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of Jehovah shall be delivered; for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those that escape, as Jehovah hath said, and among the remnant those whom Jehovah doth call.
