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.”

God’s Blessings on His People

17 “And truly you will know that I am the Lord your God,
    dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain.
Then Jerusalem will be holy,
    and no foreigners will invade her again.
18 It will come about at that time
    that the mountains will drip with newly pressed wine,
the hills will flow with milk,
    and the streams of Judah will flow abundantly.
A fountain will spring from the Temple of the Lord,
    to water the Valley of the Acacias.

19 Egypt will be desolate,
    and Edom will be a desert,
because of violence against the people of Judah
    since they shed innocent blood in their land.
20 But Judah will live forever,
    and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
21 I will acquit their bloodguilt that has not yet been acquitted.
    For the Lord lives in Zion!”
