Joel 2:21–27

^21aDo not fear, O land, rejoice and be glad,

For the Lord has done ^bgreat things.

²²Do not fear, beasts of the field,

For the ^apastures of the wilderness have turned green,

For the tree has borne its fruit,

The fig tree and the vine have yielded ¹in full.

²³So rejoice, O ^asons of Zion,

And ^bbe glad in the Lord your God;

For He has ^cgiven you ¹the early rain for your vindication.

And He has poured down for you the rain,

The ²early and ^3dlatter rain ⁴as before.

²⁴The threshing floors will be full of grain,

And the vats will ^aoverflow with the new wine and oil.

²⁵“Then I will make up to you for the years

That the swarming ^alocust has eaten,

The creeping locust, the stripping locust and the gnawing locust,

My great army which I sent among you.

²⁶“You will have plenty to ^aeat and be satisfied

And ^bpraise the name of the Lord your God,

Who has ^cdealt wondrously with you;

Then My people will ^dnever be put to shame.

²⁷“Thus you will ^aknow that I am in the midst of Israel,

And that I am the Lord your God,

And there is ^bno other;

And My people will never be ^cput to shame.
