Joel 2:23–32

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

Yahweh’s Spirit Poured Out

^28a And it will happen afterward thus:

I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh,

and your sons and your daughters will prophesy,

and your elders will dream dreams;

your young men shall see visions.

²⁹And also on the male slaves and on the female slaves,

I will pour out my Spirit in those days.

³⁰And I will set^b wonders in the heavens, and on earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke. ³¹The sun will be changed to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of Yahweh. ³²And it will happen—everyone who calls on the name of Yahweh will be rescued, because on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be those who escape,^c as Yahweh said, and among the survivors whom Yahweh is calling.
