21
Don't fear, O soil; be glad! rejoice! for ADONAI has done great things.
22
Don't be afraid, wild animals; for the desert pastures are green, the trees are putting out their fruit, the fig tree and vine are giving full yield.
23
Be glad, people of Tziyon! rejoice in ADONAI your God! For he is giving you the right amount of rain in the fall, he makes the rain come down for you, the fall and spring rains - this is what he does first.
24
Then the floors will be full of grain and the vats overflow with wine and olive oil.
25
"I will restore to you the years that the locusts ate, the grasshoppers, shearer-worms and cutter-worms, my great army that I sent against you.
26
You will eat until you are satisfied and will praise the name of ADONAI your God, who has done with you such wonders. Then my people will never again be shamed.
27
You will know that I am with Isra'el and that I am ADONAI your God, and that there is no other. Then my people will never again be shamed.
28
"After this, I will pour out my Spirit on all humanity. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions;
29
and also on male and female slaves in those days I will pour out my Spirit.
30
I will show wonders in the sky and on earth - blood, fire and columns of smoke.
31
The sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the coming of the great and terrible Day of ADONAI."
