22 Don’t be afraid, wild animals,
for the wilderness pastures have turned green,(A)
the trees bear their fruit,
and the fig tree and grapevine yield their riches.
23 Children of Zion,(B) rejoice and be glad
in the Lord your God,(C)
because he gives you the autumn rain[a]
for your vindication.[b](D)
He sends showers for you,
both autumn and spring rain(E) as before.
24 The threshing floors will be full of grain,(F)
and the vats will overflow
with new wine and fresh oil.
