Joel 2:18-27
New International Version
The Lord’s Answer
19 The Lord replied[a] to them:
“I am sending you grain, new wine(C) and olive oil,(D)
enough to satisfy you fully;(E)
never again will I make you
an object of scorn(F) to the nations.
20 “I will drive the northern horde(G) far from you,
pushing it into a parched and barren land;
its eastern ranks will drown in the Dead Sea
and its western ranks in the Mediterranean Sea.
And its stench(H) will go up;
its smell will rise.”
Surely he has done great things!
21 Do not be afraid,(I) land of Judah;
be glad and rejoice.(J)
Surely the Lord has done great things!(K)
22 Do not be afraid, you wild animals,
for the pastures in the wilderness are becoming green.(L)
The trees are bearing their fruit;
the fig tree(M) and the vine(N) yield their riches.(O)
23 Be glad, people of Zion,
rejoice(P) in the Lord your God,
for he has given you the autumn rains
because he is faithful.(Q)
He sends you abundant showers,(R)
both autumn(S) and spring rains,(T) as before.
24 The threshing floors will be filled with grain;
the vats will overflow(U) with new wine(V) and oil.
25 “I will repay you for the years the locusts(W) have eaten(X)—
the great locust and the young locust,
the other locusts and the locust swarm[b]—
my great army(Y) that I sent among you.
26 You will have plenty to eat, until you are full,(Z)
and you will praise(AA) the name of the Lord your God,
who has worked wonders(AB) for you;
never again will my people be shamed.(AC)
27 Then you will know(AD) that I am in Israel,
that I am the Lord(AE) your God,
and that there is no other;
never again will my people be shamed.(AF)

Joel 2:18-27
King James Version
18 Then will the Lord be jealous for his land, and pity his people.
19 Yea, the Lord will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:
20 But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.
21 Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the Lord will do great things.
22 Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.
23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
24 And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.
25 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.
26 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.
27 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.

Joel 2:18-27
New King James Version
The Land Refreshed(A)
18 Then the Lord will (B)be zealous for His land,
And pity His people.
19 The Lord will answer and say to His people,
“Behold, I will send you (C)grain and new wine and oil,
And you will be satisfied by them;
I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations.
20 “But (D)I will remove far from you (E)the northern army,
And will drive him away into a barren and desolate land,
With his face toward the eastern sea
And his back (F)toward the western sea;
His stench will come up,
And his foul odor will rise,
Because he has done [a]monstrous things.”
21 Fear not, O land;
Be glad and rejoice,
For the Lord has done [b]marvelous things!
22 Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field;
For (G)the open pastures are springing up,
And the tree bears its fruit;
The fig tree and the vine yield their strength.
23 Be glad then, you children of Zion,
And (H)rejoice in the Lord your God;
For He has given you the [c]former rain faithfully,
And He (I)will cause the rain to come down for you—
The former rain,
And the latter rain in the first month.
24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat,
And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil.
25 “So I will restore to you the years (J)that the swarming [d]locust has eaten,
The crawling locust,
The consuming locust,
And the chewing locust,
My great army which I sent among you.
26 You shall (K)eat in plenty and be satisfied,
And praise the name of the Lord your God,
Who has dealt wondrously with you;
And My people shall never be put to (L)shame.
27 Then you shall know that I am (M)in the midst of Israel:
(N)I am the Lord your God
And there is no other.
My people shall never be put to shame.
