17 Then you will (A)know that I am the Lord your God,
Dwelling in Zion, My (B)holy mountain.
So Jerusalem will be (C)holy,
And (D)strangers will pass through it no more.

Judah Will Be Blessed

18 And in that day
The (E)mountains will drip with [a]sweet wine,
And the hills will (F)flow with milk,
And all the (G)brooks of Judah will flow with water;
And a (H)spring will go out from the house of the Lord
To water the valley of [b]Shittim.
19 Egypt will become a waste,
And Edom will become a desolate wilderness,
Because of the (I)violence [c]done to the sons of Judah,
In whose land they have shed innocent blood.
20 But Judah will be (J)inhabited forever
And Jerusalem for all generations.
21 And I will (K)avenge their blood which I have not avenged,
For the Lord dwells in Zion.
