Joel 2:21-26

Thomson(i) 21 [p] Take courage, land, rejoice and be glad; for it is the Lord who made it great to perform exploits. 22 Take courage, beasts of the field; for the plains of the wilderness are in bloom. Because the trees have yielded their fruit; the fig tree and the vine have put forth their strength; 23 rejoice therefore, ye children of Sion and exult in the Lord your God: for he hath given you this food for righteousness, and he will distil upon you the former and the latter rain as heretofore. 24 And your threshing floors shall be filled with corn, and your vats shall overflow with wine and oil. 25 [J] I will indeed make you compensation for what hath been devoured by the grasshopper and the locust, the palmer Worm and the mildew; that great army of mine which I sent against you. 26 And you shall eat plentifully and be satisfied, and shall praise the name of the Lord your God, who hath dealt wonderfully with you; and my people shall never be put to shame.
