Joel 2:21–27

²¹Do not be afraid,ⁿ land of Judah;

be glad and rejoice.^o

Surely the Lord has done great things!^p

²²Do not be afraid, you wild animals,

for the pastures in the wilderness are becoming green.^q

The trees are bearing their fruit;

the fig tree^r and the vine^s yield their riches.^t

²³Be glad, people of Zion,

rejoice^u in the Lord your God,

for he has given you the autumn rains

because he is faithful.^v

He sends you abundant showers,^w

both autumn^x and spring rains,^y as before.

²⁴The threshing floors will be filled with grain;

the vats will overflow^z with new wine^a and oil.

²⁵“I will repay you for the years the locusts^b have eaten^c—

the great locust and the young locust,

the other locusts and the locust swarm^b—

my great army^d that I sent among you.

²⁶You will have plenty to eat, until you are full,^e

and you will praise^f the name of the Lord your God,

who has worked wonders^g for you;

never again will my people be shamed.^h

²⁷Then you will knowⁱ that I am in Israel,

that I am the Lord^j your God,

and that there is no other;

never again will my people be shamed.^k
