19The LORD will answer and say to His people,
         “Behold, I am going to send you grain, new wine and oil,
         And you will be satisfied in full with them;
         And I will never again make you a reproach among the nations.

20“But I will remove the northern army far from you,
         And I will drive it into a parched and desolate land,
         And its vanguard into the eastern sea,
         And its rear guard into the western sea.
         And its stench will arise and its foul smell will come up,
         For it has done great things.”

21Do not fear, O land, rejoice and be glad,
         For the LORD has done great things.

22Do not fear, beasts of the field,
         For the pastures of the wilderness have turned green,
         For the tree has borne its fruit,
         The fig tree and the vine have yielded in full.

23So rejoice, O sons of Zion,
         And be glad in the LORD your God;
         For He has given you the early rain for your vindication.
         And He has poured down for you the rain,
         The early and latter rain as before.

24The threshing floors will be full of grain,
         And the vats will overflow with the new wine and oil.

25“Then I will make up to you for the years
         That the swarming locust 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 eat and be satisfied
         And praise the name of the LORD your God,
         Who has dealt wondrously with you;
         Then My people will never be put to shame.

27“Thus you will know that I am in the midst of Israel,
         And that I am the LORD your God,
         And there is no other;
         And My people will never be put to shame.

The Promise of the Spirit

28“It will come about after this
         That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind;
         And your sons and daughters will prophesy,
         Your old men will dream dreams,
         Your young men will see visions.

29“Even on the male and female servants
         I will pour out My Spirit in those days.

The Day of the LORD

30“I will display wonders in the sky and on the earth,
         Blood, fire and columns of smoke.

31“The sun will be turned into darkness
         And the moon into blood
         Before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes.

32“And it will come about that whoever calls on the name of the LORD
         Will be delivered;
         For on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem
         There will be those who escape,
         As the LORD has said,
         Even among the survivors whom the LORD calls.
