By him my vine is made waste and my fig-tree broken: he has taken all its fruit and sent it down to the earth; its branches are made white.

The grains have become small and dry under the spade; the store-houses are made waste, the grain-stores are broken down; for the grain is dry and dead.

They make a rush on the town, running on the wall; they go up into the houses and in through the windows like a thief.

Have no fear, O land; be glad with great joy; for the Lord has done great things.

Be glad, then, you children of Zion, and have joy in the Lord your God: for he gives you food in full measure, making the rain come down for you, the early and the late rain as at the first.

You will have food in full measure, and give praise to the name of the Lord your God, who has done wonders for you:

I will get together all the nations, and make them come down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; and there I will take up with them the cause of my people and of my heritage Israel, whom they have sent wandering among the nations, and of my land which has been parted by them.

See, I will have them moved from the place where you have sent them, and will let what you have done come back on your head;

Come quickly, all you nations round about, and get yourselves together there: make your strong ones come down, O Lord.

Put in the blade, for the grain is ready: come, get you down, for the wine-crusher is full, the vessels are overflowing; for great is their evil-doing.

Egypt will be a waste and Edom a land of destruction, because of the evil done to the children of Judah, because they have let blood be drained out in their land without cause.
