Joel 3:1; Joel 3:6; Joel 3:8; Joel 3:16-20

Joel 3:1

1 "In those days and at that time, I will bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem.

Joel 3:6

6 You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks. That way you could send them far away from their land.

Joel 3:8

8 I will sell your sons and daughters to the people of Judah. They will sell them to the people of Sheba, a nation that is far away." The LORD has spoken.

Joel 3:16-20

16 The LORD will roar from Zion, and his voice will thunder from Jerusalem. The sky and the earth will shake. The LORD will be a refuge for his people. He will be a stronghold for the people of Israel.

17 "You will know that I am the LORD your God. I live on my holy mountain, Zion. Jerusalem will be holy. Foreigners will never invade it again.

18 On that day new wine will cover the mountains. Milk will flow on the hills. Water will flow in all the brooks of Judah. A spring will flow from the LORD's temple. It will water the valley of Shittim.

19 Egypt will become a wasteland. Edom will become a barren desert. This is because the nations were cruel to Judah. They murdered innocent people in their land.

20 People will always live in Judah. People will live in Jerusalem from now on.
