Joel 3:17-21

English Standard Version

The Glorious Future of Judah

¹⁷^(A)“So you shall know that I am the Lord your God,
^(B)who dwells in Zion, ^(C)my holy mountain.
And Jerusalem shall be holy,
and ^(D)strangers shall never again pass through it.

¹⁸“And in that day
^(E)the mountains shall drip sweet wine,
    and the hills shall flow with milk,
and ^(F)all the streambeds of Judah
    shall flow with water;
^(G)and a fountain shall come forth from the house of the Lord
    and water the Valley of ^(H)Shittim.

¹⁹^(I)“Egypt shall become a desolation
    and ^(J)Edom a desolate wilderness,
^(K)for the violence done to the people of Judah,
    because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
²⁰^(L)But Judah shall be inhabited forever,
    and Jerusalem to all generations.
²¹^(M)I will avenge their blood,
    blood I have not avenged,^[a]
    ^(N)for the Lord dwells in Zion.”
