The restoration of the harvests

2:18 The restoration of the harvests

18Then Yahweh was jealous for his land,

and he had pity on his people.

19Then Yahweh answered and told his people,

“Listen, I’ll send you grain and new wine and oil,

and you all will have enough with it,

and I’ll no longer make you a country for the other nations to mock.

20And I will distance the northern army from upon you,

and I will banish them into a land of dryness and desolation

their face into the eastern sea

and their back into the western sea.

Their stench will rise,

and their odour will spread,

because they’ve made many powerful moves.”


21Don’t fear, land. Be glad and celebrate,

because Yahweh has been doing powerful things.

22Don’t worry, you animals in the countryside,

because the pastures in the wilderness have sprouted.

Because the tree has borne its fruit

the fig tree and the grapevine have produced their best.


23And be glad, you descendants of Tsiyyon (Zion),

and celebrate about your God Yahweh,

because he’s given you the early rain as vindication

and he’s brought down showers for you—

the early rains and the late rains like before.

24Then the threshing floors will be full of grain,

and the vats will overflow with grape juice and olive oil.

25“And I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust and the hopping locust,

the destroying locust and the cutting locust have eaten

my huge army that I sent among you.

26You’ll all eat and be full,

and you’ll praise the name of your God Yahweh,

who’s done miracles among you all,

and forever my people won’t feel shamed.

27Then you’ll all know that I’m right there in Israel

that I’m your God Yahweh and there isn’t any other,

and forever my people won’t feel shamed.
