Joel 2:20-25

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!

21Do not be afraid, land of Judah; be glad and rejoice. Surely the LORD has done great things!

22Do not be afraid, you wild animals, for the pastures in the wilderness are becoming green. The trees are bearing their fruit; the fig tree and the vine yield their riches.

23Be glad, people of Zion, rejoice in the LORD your God, for he has given you the autumn rains because he is faithful. He sends you abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before.

24The threshing floors will be filled with grain; the vats will overflow with new wine and oil.

25“I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten— the great locust and the young locust, the other locusts and the locust swarm The precise meaning of the four Hebrew words used here for locusts is uncertain. — my great army that I sent among you.
