The word of the Lord that came to Joel son of Pethuel:

Woe because of that day!
For the Day of the Lord is near
and will come as devastation from the Almighty.

Their appearance is like that of horses,
and they gallop like war horses.

I will repay you for the years
that the swarming locust ate,
the young locust, the destroying locust,
and the devouring locust—
My great army that I sent against you.

You will know that I am present in Israel
and that I am Yahweh your God,
and there is no other.
My people will never again be put to shame.

Yes, in those days and at that time,
when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,

Then you will know
that I am Yahweh your God,
who dwells in Zion, My holy mountain.
Jerusalem will be holy,
and foreigners will never overrun it again.

In that day
the mountains will drip with sweet wine,
and the hills will flow with milk.
All the streams of Judah will flow with water,
and a spring will issue from the Lord’s house,
watering the Valley of Acacias.
