Joel 3:17-21
Lexham English Bible
17 And you will know that I, Yahweh your God,
am dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain.
And Jerusalem will be a place of holiness,
and strangers will pass through it no longer.
18 And it will happen on that day;
the mountains will drip new wine,
and the hills will flow with milk,
and all the channels of Judah will flow with water.
A spring from the house of Yahweh will come forth,
and it will water the valley of Acacia Trees.[a]
19 Egypt will become a desolation,
and Edom will become a desolate desert,[b]
because of the violence they did against the children of Judah,
in whose land they have shed innocent blood.
20 But Judah will be inhabited forever,
and Jerusalem for all generations.[c]
21 I will cleanse their bloodguilt[d] that I did not cleanse,[e]
for Yahweh is dwelling in Zion.
