Joel 3:17-21
New American Standard Bible
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.
Joel 3:17-21
Common English Bible
17 So you will know that I am the Lord your God,
settle down in Zion, my holy mountain.
Jerusalem will be holy,
and never again will strangers pass through it.
18 In that day
the mountains will drip sweet wine,
the hills will flow with milk,
and all the streambeds of Judah
will flow with water;
a spring will come forth from the Lord’s house
and water the Shittim Valley.
19 Egypt will become desolate
and Edom a desolate wilderness.
This is because of the violence done to the people of Judah,
in whose land they have shed innocent blood.
20 But Judah will be inhabited forever,
and Jerusalem for all generations.
21 I will forgive their bloodguilt,
which I had not forgiven.
I will act on their account;
I will not pardon the guilty.
The Lord dwells in Zion.
