17 Then you will know that I, the Lord your God, dwell in Zion, my holy mountain.
    Jerusalem will be holy.
    Foreigners will not pass through her again.

18 In that day the mountains will drip sweet wine,
    and the hills will flow with milk.
    All the stream beds of Judah will run with water.
    A fountain will flow out of the Lord’s house.
    It will water the Valley of Acacias.
19 Egypt will be desolate.
    Edom will be a desolate wilderness,
    because of violence they committed against the people of Judah, in whose land they shed innocent blood.
20 Judah will be inhabited forever,
    and Jerusalem through all generations.
21 I will pardon their bloodguilt, which I have not pardoned.[a]

The Prophet’s Final Praise

    The Lord dwells in Zion!
