You will be full. You will praise the name of the Lord your God. He has done great things for you. My people will never again be ashamed. 27Then you will know that I am in Israel.

Your sons and daughters will be prophets. Your old men will dream and your young men will see pictures in their minds. (The Lord will send these to them.)
