Joel 2:21–27

²¹Do not fear, O land,

rejoice and be glad,

because Yahweh has done great things.

²²Do not fear, wild animals of the field,

because the pastures of the desert have put forth new green shoots,

because the tree has produced its fruit,

the fig tree and the vine

have yielded their produce.

²³Be glad, O children of Zion,

be glad and rejoice in Yahweh your God,

because he has given for you

the autumn rains for your righteousness,^v

and he has poured down^w for you rainwater,

the autumn and spring rains, as before.

²⁴The threshing floors will be full with grain,

and the vats will overflow

with new wine and olive oil.

²⁵I will repay you the years

that the locust has eaten,

the hopper, the destroyer, and the cutter,

my mighty troops that I sent against you.

²⁶And you will eat abundantly and be satisfied,

and praise the name of Yahweh your God,

who has dealt with you wondrously.^x

My people will never be ashamed.^y

²⁷And you will know that I am in the midst of Israel,

and I am Yahweh,

your God, and there is no other.

My people will never be ashamed again.^z
