Joel 3:17-21
New King James Version
Joel 3:17-21
New King James Version
17 “So you shall know that I am the Lord your God,
Dwelling in Zion My (A)holy mountain.
Then Jerusalem shall be holy,
And no aliens shall ever pass through her again.”
God Blesses His People
18 And it will come to pass in that day
That the mountains shall drip with new wine,
The hills shall flow with milk,
And all the brooks of Judah shall be flooded with water;
A (B)fountain shall flow from the house of the Lord
And water the Valley of [a]Acacias.
19 “Egypt shall be a desolation,
And Edom a desolate wilderness,
Because of violence against the people of Judah,
For they have shed innocent blood in their land.
20 But Judah shall abide forever,
And Jerusalem from generation to generation.
21 For I will (C)acquit them of the guilt of bloodshed, whom I had not acquitted;
For the Lord dwells in Zion.”
