The LORD’s Answer18Then the LORD was jealous for his land and took pity on his people.
19The LORD replied Or Lord will be jealous… / and take pity… / 19 The Lord will reply to them: “I am sending you grain, new wine and olive oil, enough to satisfy you fully; never again will I make you an object of scorn to the nations.
20“I will drive the northern horde far from you, pushing it into a parched and barren land; its eastern ranks will drown in the Dead Sea and its western ranks in the Mediterranean Sea. And its stench will go up; its smell will rise.” Surely he has done great things!
