and don't give your heritage to reproach, that the nations
should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples,
'Where is their God?'"
002:018 Then Yahweh was jealous for his land, And had pity on his people.
002:019 Yahweh answered his people, "Behold, I will send you grain,
new wine, and oil, and you will be satisfied with them;
and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations.
002:020 But I will remove the northern army far away from you,
and will drive it into a barren and desolate land, its front
into the eastern sea, and its back into the western sea;
and its stench will come up, and its bad smell will rise."
Surely he has done great things.
002:021 Land, don't be afraid. Be glad and rejoice, for Yahweh has
done great things.
002:022 Don't be afraid, you animals of the field; for the pastures
of the wilderness spring up, for the tree bears its fruit.
The fig tree and the vine yield their strength.
002:023 "Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in Yahweh,
your God; for he gives you the former rain in just measure,
and he causes the rain to come down for you, the former rain
and the latter rain, as before.
002:024 The threshing floors will be full of wheat, and the vats
will overflow with new wine and oil.
002:025 I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten,
the great locust, the grasshopper, and the caterpillar,
my great army, which I sent among you.
002:026 You will have plenty to eat, and be satisfied, and will praise
the name of Yahweh, your God, who has dealt wondrously with you;
and my people will never again be disappointed.
002:027 You will know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I
am Yahweh, your God, and there is no one else; and my people
will never again be disappointed.
002:028 "It will happen afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on
all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will prophesy.
Your old men will dream dreams. Your young men will see visions.
002:029 And also on the servants and on the handmaids in those days,
I will pour out my Spirit.
002:030 I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth:
blood, fire, and pillars of smoke.
002:031 The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood,
before the great and terrible day of Yahweh comes.
002:032 It will happen that whoever will call on the name of Yahweh
shall be saved; for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will
be those who escape, as Yahweh has said, and among the remnant,
those whom Yahweh calls.
003:001 "For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I restore
the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,
003:002 I will gather all nations, and will bring them down into
the valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will execute judgment on them
