The Message
Joel 2:25-27
The Message
25-27 “I’ll make up for the years of the locust,
the great locust devastation—
Locusts savage, locusts deadly,
fierce locusts, locusts of doom,
That great locust invasion
I sent your way.
You’ll eat your fill of good food.
You’ll be full of praises to your God,
The God who has set you back on your heels in wonder.
Never again will my people be despised.
You’ll know without question
that I’m in the thick of life with Israel,
That I’m your God, yes, your God,
the one and only real God.
Never again will my people be despised.

Joel 2:25-27
New International Version
25 “I will repay you for the years the locusts(A) have eaten(B)—
the great locust and the young locust,
the other locusts and the locust swarm[a]—
my great army(C) that I sent among you.
26 You will have plenty to eat, until you are full,(D)
and you will praise(E) the name of the Lord your God,
who has worked wonders(F) for you;
never again will my people be shamed.(G)
27 Then you will know(H) that I am in Israel,
that I am the Lord(I) your God,
and that there is no other;
never again will my people be shamed.(J)
