Joel 3:16-18

New International Reader's Version

¹⁶The Lord will roar like a lion from Jerusalem.
    His voice will sound like thunder from Zion.
    The earth and the heavens will tremble.
But the Lord will keep the people of Israel safe.
    He will be a place of safety for them.

The Lord Blesses His People

¹⁷The Lord says,

“You will know that I am the Lord your God.
    I live in Zion.
    It is my holy mountain.
Jerusalem will be my holy city.
    People from other lands
    will never again attack it.

¹⁸“At that time fresh wine will drip from the mountains.
    Milk will flow down from the hills.
    Water will run through all Judah’s valleys.
A fountain will flow out of my temple.
    It will water the places where acacia trees grow.
