Joel 2:18-20

Revised Standard Version

God’s Response and Promise

¹⁸Then the Lord became jealous for his land,
    and had pity on his people.
¹⁹The Lord answered and said to his people,
“Behold, I am sending to you
    grain, wine, and oil,
    and you will be satisfied;
and I will no more make you
    a reproach among the nations.

²⁰“I will remove the northerner far from you,
    and drive him into a parched and desolate land,
his front into the eastern sea,
    and his rear into the western sea;
the stench and foul smell of him will rise,
    for he has done great things.
