Blessings for God’s People
17 “Then you will know(A) that I, the Lord your God,(B)
dwell in Zion,(C) my holy hill.(D)
Jerusalem will be holy;(E)
never again will foreigners invade her.(F)
18 “In that day the mountains will drip new wine,(G)
and the hills will flow with milk;(H)
all the ravines of Judah will run with water.(I)
A fountain will flow out of the Lord’s house(J)
and will water the valley of acacias.[a](K)
19 But Egypt(L) will be desolate,
Edom(M) a desert waste,
because of violence(N) done to the people of Judah,
in whose land they shed innocent blood.
20 Judah will be inhabited forever(O)
and Jerusalem through all generations.
21 Shall I leave their innocent blood unavenged?(P)
No, I will not.(Q)”
The Lord dwells in Zion!(R)

Joel 3:17-21
King James Version
17 So shall ye know that I am the Lord your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.
18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth out of the house of the Lord, and shall water the valley of Shittim.
19 Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
20 But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
21 For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the Lord dwelleth in Zion.
