21 “And (A)in that day (B)I will answer, declares the Lord,
I will answer the heavens,
and they shall answer the earth,
22 and the earth shall answer the grain, the wine, and the oil,
and they shall answer (C)Jezreel,[a]
23 and (D)I will sow her for myself in the land.
And (E)I (F)will have mercy on No Mercy,[b]
