Joel 2:18-27

18Then the LORDH3068 became jealousH7065 for His landH776, and He sparedH2550 H5921 His peopleH5971.

19And the LORDH3068 H559 answeredH6030 His peopleH5971:

“BeholdH2005, I will sendH7971 yougrainH1715, new wineH8492, and oilH3323,and by themH854 you will be satisfiedH7646.I will never againH3808 H5750 make youH5414 a reproachH2781 among the nationsH1471.

20 The northernH6830 army I will drive awayH7368 from youH5921,banishing itH5080 toH413 a barrenH6723 and desolateH8077 landH776,its frontH6440 ranksH413 into the EasternH6931 SeaH3220,1and its rear guardH5490 intoH413 the WesternH314 SeaH3220.2And its stenchH889 will riseH5927;its foul odorH6709 will ascendH5927.

ForH3588 He has doneH6213 great thingsH1431.

21Do notH408 be afraidH3372, O landH127;rejoiceH1523 and be gladH8055,forH3588 the LORDH3068 has doneH6213 great thingsH1431.22Do notH408 be afraidH3372, O beastsH929 of the fieldH7704,forH3588 the openH4057 pasturesH4999 have turned greenH1876 ,the treesH6086 bearH5375 their fruitH6529,and the fig treeH8384 and vineH1612 yieldH5414 their bestH2428.323Be gladH1523, O childrenH1121 of ZionH6726,and rejoiceH8055 in the LORDH3068 your GodH430,forH3588 He has givenH5414 you the autumn rainsH4175for your vindicationH6666.He sendsH3381 you showersH1653,both autumnH4175 and spring rainsH4456, as beforeH7223.24The threshing floorsH1637 will be full ofH4390 grainH1250,and the vatsH3342 will overflowH7783 with new wineH8492 and oilH3323.

25I will repayH7999 you for the yearsH8141 eatenH398 by locusts—the swarming locustH697, the young locustH3218,the destroying locustH2625, and the devouring locustH1501 4—My greatH1419 armyH2428 thatH834 I sentH7971 against you.26You will have plenty to eatH398,until you are satisfiedH7646.You will praiseH1984 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430,whoH834 has workedH6213 wondersH6381 for youH5973.My peopleH5971 will never againH3808 H5769be put to shameH954.27Then you will knowH3045 thatH3588 IH589 am present inH7130 IsraelH3478and that IH589 am the LORDH3068 your GodH430,and there is noH369 otherH5750.My peopleH5971 will never againH3808 H5769be put to shameH954.
