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.

19 The Lord replied[a] to them:

“I am sending you grain, new wine(A) and olive oil,(B)
    enough to satisfy you fully;(C)
never again will I make you
    an object of scorn(D) to the nations.

20 “I will drive the northern horde(E) 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(F) will go up;
    its smell will rise.”

Surely he has done great things!
