17 Then you will (A)know that I am the Lord your God,
Dwelling on Zion, My (B)holy mountain.
So Jerusalem will be (C)holy,
And (D)strangers will no longer pass through it.

Judah Will Be Blessed

18 And on that day
The (E)mountains will drip with [a]sweet wine,
And the hills will (F)flow with milk,
And all the (G)brooks of Judah will flow with water;
And a (H)spring will go out from the house of the Lord
And water the Valley of [b]Shittim.
19 Egypt will become a wasteland,
And Edom will become a desolate wilderness,
Because of the (I)violence [c]done to the sons of Judah,
In whose land they have shed innocent blood.
20 But Judah will be (J)inhabited forever,
And Jerusalem for all generations.
21 And I will (K)avenge their blood which I have not avenged,
For the Lord dwells in Zion.

17 So shall ye know that I am Jehovah 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 sweet wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the brooks of Judah shall flow with waters; and a fountain shall come forth from the house of Jehovah, and shall water [a]the valley of Shittim. 19 Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence done to the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land. 20 But Judah shall [b]abide for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation. 21 And I will [c]cleanse their blood, that I have not cleansed: for Jehovah dwelleth in Zion.
