Joel 2:23

The Response And Promise Of Yahweh

²² Do not fear, beasts of the field,
For the pastures of the wilderness have turned green,
For the tree has borne its fruit,
The fig tree and the vine have yielded in full.
²³ So rejoice, O sons of Zion,
And be glad in the Lord your God;
For He has given you the early rain for your vindication.
And He has poured down for you the rain,
The early and latter rain as before.
²⁴ The threshing floors will be full of grain,
And the vats will overflow with the new wine and oil.
