Joel 2:18-27
Names of God Bible
The Lord Will Give Earthly Blessings to His People
18 Then Yahweh became concerned about his land,
and he had pity on his people.
19 Yahweh said to his people,
“I am going to send grain, new wine, and olive oil to you.
You will be satisfied with them.
I will no longer make you a disgrace among the nations.
20 “I will keep the northern army far from you,
and I will force it into a dry and barren land.
The soldiers in front will be forced into the eastern sea.
The soldiers in back will be forced into the western sea.
A foul odor will rise from the dead bodies.
They will stink.”
He has done great things!
21 Land, do not be afraid.
Be glad and rejoice.
Yahweh has done great things!
22 Wild animals, do not be afraid.
The pastures in the wilderness have turned green.
The trees have produced their fruit.
There are plenty of figs and grapes.
23 People of Zion, be glad and find joy in Yahweh your Elohim.
Yahweh has given you the Teacher of Righteousness.[a]
He has sent the autumn rain and the spring rain as before.
24 The threshing floors[b] will be filled with grain.
The vats will overflow with new wine and olive oil.
25 “Then I will repay you for the years
that the mature locusts, the adult locusts,
the grasshoppers, and the young locusts ate your crops.
(They are the large army that I sent against you.)
26 You will have plenty to eat, and you will be full.
You will praise the name of Yahweh your Elohim,
who has performed miracles for you.
My people will never be ashamed again.
27 You will know that I am in Israel.
I am Yahweh your Elohim, and there is no other.
My people will never be ashamed again.[c]
