Joel 2:21-32

New King James Version

²¹Fear not, O land;
Be glad and rejoice,
For the Lord has done ^[a]marvelous things!
²²Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field;
For ^(A)the open pastures are springing up,
And the tree bears its fruit;
The fig tree and the vine yield their strength.
²³Be glad then, you children of Zion,
And ^(B)rejoice in the Lord your God;
For He has given you the ^[b]former rain faithfully,
And He ^(C)will cause the rain to come down for you—
The former rain,
And the latter rain in the first month.
²⁴The threshing floors shall be full of wheat,
And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil.

²⁵“So I will restore to you the years ^(D)that the swarming ^[c]locust has eaten,
The crawling locust,
The consuming locust,
And the chewing locust,
My great army which I sent among you.
²⁶You shall ^(E)eat in plenty and be satisfied,
And praise the name of the Lord your God,
Who has dealt wondrously with you;
And My people shall never be put to ^(F)shame.
²⁷Then you shall know that I am ^(G)in the midst of Israel:
^(H)I am the Lord your God
And there is no other.
My people shall never be put to shame.

God’s Spirit Poured Out

²⁸“And^(I) it shall come to pass afterward
That ^(J)I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
^(K)Your sons and your ^(L)daughters shall prophesy,
Your old men shall dream dreams,
Your young men shall see visions.
²⁹And also on My ^(M)menservants and on My maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days.

³⁰“And ^(N)I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth:
Blood and fire and pillars of smoke.
³¹^(O)The sun shall be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
^(P)Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord.
³²And it shall come to pass
That ^(Q)whoever calls on the name of the Lord
Shall be ^[d]saved.
For ^(R)in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be ^[e]deliverance,
As the Lord has said,
Among ^(S)the remnant whom the Lord calls.
