Joel 3:16-20

16The Lord 1roars from Zion And 2utters His voice from Jerusalem, And the 3heavens and the earth tremble. But the Lord is a 4refuge for His people And a 5stronghold to the sons of Israel.17Then you will 6know that I am the Lord your God, Dwelling in Zion, My 7holy mountain. So Jerusalem will be 8holy, And 9strangers will pass through it no more.

18And in that day The 10mountains will drip with 11sweet wine, And the hills will 12flow with milk, And all the 13brooks of Judah will flow with water; And a 14spring will go out from the house of the Lord To water the valley of 15Shittim.19Egypt will become a waste, And Edom will become a desolate wilderness, Because of the 16violence 17done to the sons of Judah, In whose land they have shed innocent blood.20But Judah will be 18inhabited forever And Jerusalem for all generations.
