Joel 2:23-27
English Standard Version
23 (A)“Be glad, O children of Zion,
and (B)rejoice in the Lord your God,
for he has given (C)the early rain for your vindication;
he has poured down for you abundant rain,
(D)the early and (E)the latter rain, as before.
24 “The threshing floors shall be full of grain;
the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.
25 I will restore[a] to you the years
that (F)the swarming locust has eaten,
(G)the hopper, (H)the destroyer, and (I)the cutter,
(J)my great army, which I sent among you.
26 (K)“You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied,
and praise the name of the Lord your God,
who has dealt wondrously with you.
And my people (L)shall never again be put to shame.
27 (M)You shall know that I am (N)in the midst of Israel,
and that (O)I am the Lord your God (P)and there is none else.
And my people (Q)shall never again be put to shame.

23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
