17 “So you will know that I am Yahweh, your God,
    dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain.
Then Jerusalem will be holy,
    and no strangers will pass through her any more.
18 It will happen in that day,
    that the mountains will drop down sweet wine,
    the hills will flow with milk,
    all the brooks of Judah will flow with waters,
    and a fountain will flow out from Yahweh’s house,
    and will water the valley of Shittim.
19 Egypt will be a desolation,
    and Edom will 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 will be inhabited forever,
    and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
21 I will cleanse their blood,
    that I have not cleansed:
    for Yahweh dwells in Zion.”

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.
