Joel 2:23-27

23So shout for joy, you 1sons of Zion, And 2rejoice in the Lord your God; For He has 3given you 4the early rain for your vindication. And He has brought down for you the rain, The 5early and 6 7latter rain 8as before.24The threshing floors will be full of grain, And the vats will 9overflow with the new wine and oil.25“Then I will compensate you for the years That the 10swarming 11locust has eaten, The creeping locust, the stripping locust, and the gnawing locust-- My great army which I sent among you.26You will have plenty to 12eat and be satisfied, And you will 13praise the name of the Lord your God, Who has 14dealt wondrously with you; Then My people will 15never be put to shame.27So you will 16know that I am in the midst of Israel, And that I am the Lord your God And there is 17no other; And My people will never be 18put to shame.
