Joel 3:17–21

ISRAEL BLESSED

17 Then you will know

that I am the Lord your God,ae

who dwells in Zion, my holy mountain.af

Jerusalem will be holy,ag

and foreigners will never overrun it again.ah

18 In that day

the mountains will drip with sweet wine,ai

and the hills will flow with milk.aj

All the streams of Judah will flow with water,ak

and a spring will issue from the Lord’s house,al

watering the Valley of Acacias.A,am

19 Egypt will become desolate,

and Edom a desert wasteland,

because of the violence done to the people of Judahan

in whose land they shed innocent blood.

20 But Judah will be inhabited forever,ao

and Jerusalem from generation to generation.

21 I will pardon their bloodguilt,B,ap

which I have not pardoned,

for the Lord dwells in Zion.
