23 Children of Zion,(A) rejoice and be glad
in the Lord your God,(B)
because he gives you the autumn rain[a]
for your vindication.[b](C)
He sends showers for you,
both autumn and spring rain(D) as before.
24 The threshing floors will be full of grain,(E)
and the vats will overflow
with new wine and fresh oil.

25 I will repay you for the years
that the swarming locust ate,(F)
the young locust, the destroying locust,
and the devouring locust—
my great army that I sent against you.
26 You will have plenty to eat and be satisfied.(G)
You will praise the name of the Lord your God,(H)
who has dealt wondrously with you.(I)
My people will never again be put to shame.(J)
27 You will know that I am present in Israel(K)
and that I am the Lord your God,
and there is no other.(L)
My people will never again be put to shame.(M)
