23 Be glad then, you children of Zion,

And orejoice in the Lord your God;

For He has given you the 1former rain faithfully,

And He pwill cause the rain to come down for you—

The former rain,

And the latter rain in the first month.

24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat,

And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil.

25 “So I will restore to you the years qthat the swarming 2locust has eaten,

The crawling locust,

The consuming locust,

And the chewing locust,

My great army which I sent among you.

26 You shall reat in plenty and be satisfied,

And praise the name of the Lord your God,

Who has dealt wondrously with you;

And My people shall never be put to sshame.

27 Then you shall know that I am tin the midst of Israel:

uI am the Lord your God

And there is no other.

My people shall never be put to shame.

God’s Spirit Poured Out

28 “And vit shall come to pass afterward

That wI will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;

xYour sons and your ydaughters shall prophesy,

Your old men shall dream dreams,

Your young men shall see visions.

29 And also on My zmenservants and on My maidservants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days.
