Basic HTML Version
and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should
they say among the people, Where
is
their God?
18
Then will the L
ORD
be jealous for his land, and pity his people.
19
Yea, the L
ORD
will answer
and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied
therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:
20
But I will remove far off
from you the northern
army,
and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward
the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour
shall come up, because he hath done great things.
21
Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the L
ORD
will do great things.
22
Be not afraid, ye
beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig
tree and the vine do yield their strength.
23
Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the
L
ORD
your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down
for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first
month.
24
And the floors shall be
full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil.
25
And I will restore to you the years
that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army
which I sent among you.
26
And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the
L
ORD
your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
27
And
ye shall know that I
am
in the midst of Israel, and
that
I
am
the L
ORD
your God, and none else: and
my people shall never be ashamed.
28
And it shall come to pass afterward,
that
I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your
sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall
see visions:
29
And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out
my spirit.
30
And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars
of smoke.
31
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and
the terrible day of the L
ORD
come.
32
And it shall come to pass,
that
whosoever shall call on the
name of the L
ORD
shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as
the L
ORD
hath said, and in the remnant whom the L
ORD
shall call.
CHAPTER 3
For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and
Jerusalem,
2
I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat,
and will plead with them there for my people and
for
my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered
among the nations, and parted my land.
3
And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a
boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.
4
Yea, and what have ye to do
with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and
if ye recompense me, swiftly
and
speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;
