Joel 3:17-21

17 Then you will 1know that I am the LORD your God, Dwelling in Zion, My 2holy mountain. So Jerusalem will be 3holy, And 4strangers will pass through it no more.

Judah Will Be Blessed

18 And in that day The 5mountains will drip with sweet wine, And the hills will 6flow with milk, And all the 7brooks of Judah will flow with water; And a 8spring will go out from the house of the LORD To water the valley of Shittim.
19 Egypt will become a waste, And Edom will become a desolate wilderness, Because of the 9violence done to the sons of Judah, In whose land they have shed innocent blood.
20 But Judah will be 10inhabited forever And Jerusalem for all generations.
21 And I will 11avenge their blood which I have not avenged, For the LORD dwells in Zion.
