A word of Jehovah that hath been unto Joel, son of Pethuel:

And I have recompensed to you the years That consume did the locust, the cankerworm, And the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm, My great force that I did send against you.

And ye have known that in the midst of Israel am I, And I am Jehovah your God, and there is none else, And not ashamed are My people to the age.

For lo, in those days, and in that time, When I turn back to the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,

And for My people they do cast a lot, And they give the young man for an harlot, And the young woman have sold for wine, That they may drink.

In that My silver and My gold ye took, And My desirable things that are good, Ye have brought in to your temples.

And ye have known that I am Jehovah your God, Dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain, And Jerusalem hath been holy, And strangers do not pass over into it again.

And it hath come to pass, in that day, Drop down do the mountains juice, And the hills do flow with milk, And all streams of Judah do go with water, And a fountain from the house of Jehovah goeth forth, And hath watered the valley of Shittim.

And I have declared their blood innocent, That I did not declare innocent, And Jehovah is dwelling in Zion!
