Context of Joel 2:26
24The threshing floors will be full of grain, and the vats will overflow with new wine and fresh oil. 25I will repay you for the years that the swarming locust ate, the young locust, the destroying locust, and the devouring locust — my great army that I sent against you. You will have plenty to eat and be satisfied. You will praise the name of the Lord your God, who has dealt wondrously with you. My people will never again be put to shame. 27You will know that I am present in Israel and that I am the Lord your God, and there is no other. My people will never again be put to shame. 28After this I will pour out my Spirit on all humanity; then your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your old men will have dreams, and your young men will see visions.
