The Lord Answers the Prayer of His People

18 Then the Lord was concerned for his land.
    He took pity on his people.

19 He replied,

“I am sending you grain, olive oil and fresh wine.
    It will be enough to satisfy you completely.
I will never allow other nations
    to make fun of you again.

20 “I will drive far away from you
    the army that comes from the north.
I will send some of its forces
    into a dry and empty land.
Its eastern troops will drown in the Dead Sea.
    Its western troops will drown in the Mediterranean Sea.
    Their dead bodies will stink.”

The Lord has done great things.
