Joel 2:21-25

The Voice

²¹ Do not fear, O land. You have been revived.
    Celebrate and rejoice, for the Eternal One has done great things!
²² Do not fear, you wild beasts: You will eat again,
    for the desert pastures are green again!
And so will we: the trees bear their fruit;
    the fig trees and the vines produce their bounty once again.

²³ People of Zion, shout with joy
    and happiness in the Eternal, your God;
The drought is over; He has sent the early autumn rain as a sign of His faithfulness.
    He has poured down heavy rain, autumn and spring, as before.
²⁴ The threshing floors will be covered in grain;
    the vats will spill over with new wine and fresh oil.

²⁵ Eternal One: I will compensate you for the years
        that the locusts have eaten—the swarming locusts,
    The creeping locusts, the stripping locusts, and the cutting locusts—^[a]
        My great army that I unleashed against you.
