and praise the name of the Lord your God,

who has dealt wondrously with you.

And my people shall never again be put to shame.

You will praise the name of the Lord your God,

who has dealt wondrously with you.

My people will never again be put to shame.

NLTNew Living Translation

The Lord says, “I will give you back what you lost

to the swarming locusts, the hopping locusts,

the stripping locusts, and the cutting locusts.

Once again you will have all the food you want,

and you will praise the Lord your God,

who does these miracles for you.

Never again will my people be disgraced.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

And you will eat abundantly and be satisfied,

who has dealt with you wondrously.

My people will never be ashamed.

KJV 1900King James Version

And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten,

The cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm,

My great army which I sent among you.

And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied,

And praise the name of the Lord your God,

That hath dealt wondrously with you:

And my people shall never be ashamed.
