Joel 3:16-18

Good News Translation

^16 (A)The Lord roars from Mount Zion;
    his voice thunders from Jerusalem;
    earth and sky tremble.
But he will defend his people.
¹⁷ “Then, Israel, you will know that I am the Lord your God.
    I live on Zion, my sacred hill.
Jerusalem will be a sacred city;
    foreigners will never conquer it again.
¹⁸ At that time the mountains will be covered with vineyards,
    and cattle will be found on every hill;
    there will be plenty of water for all of Judah.
A stream will flow from the Temple of the Lord,
    and it will water Acacia Valley.
