24 And the threshing floors will be full of wheat.
    And the barrels will overflow with wine and olive oil.

The Lord Speaks

25 “I sent my great army against you.
    Those swarming locusts and the hopping locusts,
    the destroying locusts and the cutting locusts[a] ate your crops.
But I will pay you back
    for those years of trouble.
26 Then you will have plenty to eat.
    You will be full.
You will praise the name of the Lord your God.
    He has done miracles for you.
My people will never again be shamed.
