Joel 2:18-32

18Then the LordH3068 1will beH7065 2zealousH7065 for His landH776, And 3will haveH2550 4compassionH2550 for His peopleH5971.19The LordH3068 5will answerH6030 and sayH559 to His peopleH5971, “BeholdH2009, I am going to 6sendH7971 you grainH1715, newH8492 wineH8492, and oilH3323, And you will beH7646 satisfiedH7646 in full with 7them; And I will 8neverH3808 againH5750 makeH5414 you a disgraceH2781 among the nationsH1471.20But I will removeH7368 the 9northernH6830 army farH7368 from you, And I will driveH5080 it into a dryH6723 and desolateH8077 landH776, Its advanceH6440 guardH6440 into the 10easternH6931 seaH3220, And its rearH5490 guardH5490 into the 11westernH314 seaH3220. And its 12stenchH889 will ascendH5927 and its odorH6709 ofH6709 decayH6709 will comeH5927 upH5927, BecauseH3588 it has doneH6213 greatH1431 thingsH1431.”

2113Do not fearH3372, landH127; shoutH1523 forH1523 joyH1523 and rejoiceH8055, For the LordH3068 has doneH6213 14greatH1431 thingsH1431.22Do not fearH3372, animalsH929 of the fieldH7706, For the 15pasturesH4999 of the wildernessH4057 have turnedH1876 greenH1876, For the treeH6086 has producedH5375 its fruitH6529, The figH8384 treeH8384 and the vineH1612 have yieldedH5414 16in fullH2428.23So shoutH1523 forH1523 joyH1523, you 17sonsH1121 of ZionH6726, And 18rejoiceH8055 in the LordH3068 your GodH430; For He has 19givenH5414 you 20the earlyH4175 rainH4175 for your vindicationH6666. And He has broughtH3381 downH3381 for you the rainH1653, The 21earlyH4175 and 2223latterH4456 rainH4456 24as beforeH7223.24The threshingH1637 floorsH1637 will be fullH4390 of grainH1250, And the vatsH3342 will 25overflowH7783 with the newH8492 wineH8492 and oilH3323.25“Then I will compensateH7999 you for the yearsH8141 That the 26swarmingH697 27locustH697 has eatenH398, The creepingH3218 locustH3218, the strippingH2625 locustH2625, and the gnawingH1501 locustH1501-- My greatH1419 armyH2428 whichH834 I sentH7971 among you.26You will haveH398 plentyH398 toH398 28eatH398 and beH7646 satisfiedH7646, And you will 29praiseH1984 the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 your GodH430, WhoH834 has 30dealtH6213 wondrouslyH6381 with you; Then My peopleH5971 will 31neverH3808H5769 be putH954 toH954 shameH954.27So you will 32knowH3045 that I am in the midstH7130 of IsraelH3478, And that I am the LordH3068 your GodH430 And thereH369 isH369 33noH369 otherH5750; And My peopleH5971 will neverH3808H5769 be 34putH954 toH954 shameH954.

28“3536It will comeH1961 aboutH1961 afterH310 thisH3651 That I will 37pourH8210 outH8210 My SpiritH7307 on allH3605 3839mankindH1320; And your sonsH1121 and your daughtersH1323 will prophesyH5012, Your oldH2205 menH2205 will haveH2492H2472 dreamsH2492H2472, Your youngH970 menH970 will seeH7200 visionsH2384.29And evenH1571 on the 40maleH5650 and femaleH8198 servantsH5650H8198 I will pourH8210 outH8210 My SpiritH7307 in thoseH1992 daysH3117.30I will 4142displayH5414 wondersH4159 in the skyH8064 and on the earthH776, BloodH1818, fireH784, and columnsH8490 of smokeH6227.31The 43sunH8121 will be turnedH2015 into darknessH2822, And the moonH3394 into bloodH1818, BeforeH6440 the 44greatH1419 and awesomeH3372 dayH3117 of the LordH3068 comesH935.32And it will comeH1961 aboutH1961 that 45everyoneH3605H834 whoH834 callsH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 Will 46be savedH4422; For 47on MountH2022 ZionH6726 and in JerusalemH3389 There will be those whoH6413 48escapeH6413, JustH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 has saidH559, Even among the 49survivorsH8300 whomH834 the LordH3068 callsH7121.
