Isaiah 41:18-20
New International Version
18 I will make rivers flow(A) on barren heights,
and springs within the valleys.
I will turn the desert(B) into pools of water,(C)
and the parched ground into springs.(D)
19 I will put in the desert(E)
the cedar and the acacia,(F) the myrtle and the olive.
I will set junipers(G) in the wasteland,
the fir and the cypress(H) together,(I)
20 so that people may see and know,(J)
may consider and understand,(K)
that the hand(L) of the Lord has done this,
that the Holy One(M) of Israel has created(N) it.
Joel 2:18-32
New International Version
The Lord’s Answer
19 The Lord replied[a] to them:
“I am sending you grain, new wine(C) and olive oil,(D)
enough to satisfy you fully;(E)
never again will I make you
an object of scorn(F) to the nations.
20 “I will drive the northern horde(G) far from you,
pushing it into a parched and barren land;
its eastern ranks will drown in the Dead Sea
and its western ranks in the Mediterranean Sea.
And its stench(H) will go up;
its smell will rise.”
Surely he has done great things!
21 Do not be afraid,(I) land of Judah;
be glad and rejoice.(J)
Surely the Lord has done great things!(K)
22 Do not be afraid, you wild animals,
for the pastures in the wilderness are becoming green.(L)
The trees are bearing their fruit;
the fig tree(M) and the vine(N) yield their riches.(O)
23 Be glad, people of Zion,
rejoice(P) in the Lord your God,
for he has given you the autumn rains
because he is faithful.(Q)
He sends you abundant showers,(R)
both autumn(S) and spring rains,(T) as before.
24 The threshing floors will be filled with grain;
the vats will overflow(U) with new wine(V) and oil.
25 “I will repay you for the years the locusts(W) have eaten(X)—
the great locust and the young locust,
the other locusts and the locust swarm[b]—
my great army(Y) that I sent among you.
26 You will have plenty to eat, until you are full,(Z)
and you will praise(AA) the name of the Lord your God,
who has worked wonders(AB) for you;
never again will my people be shamed.(AC)
27 Then you will know(AD) that I am in Israel,
that I am the Lord(AE) your God,
and that there is no other;
never again will my people be shamed.(AF)
The Day of the Lord
28 “And afterward,
I will pour out my Spirit(AG) on all people.(AH)
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,(AI)
your old men will dream dreams,(AJ)
your young men will see visions.
29 Even on my servants,(AK) both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days.(AL)
30 I will show wonders in the heavens(AM)
and on the earth,(AN)
blood and fire and billows of smoke.
31 The sun will be turned to darkness(AO)
and the moon to blood
before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.(AP)
32 And everyone who calls
on the name of the Lord(AQ) will be saved;(AR)
for on Mount Zion(AS) and in Jerusalem
there will be deliverance,(AT)
as the Lord has said,
even among the survivors(AU)
whom the Lord calls.[c](AV)
Amos 9:13-15
New International Version
13 “The days are coming,”(A) declares the Lord,
“when the reaper(B) will be overtaken by the plowman(C)
and the planter by the one treading(D) grapes.
New wine(E) will drip from the mountains
and flow from all the hills,(F)
14 and I will bring(G) my people Israel back from exile.[a](H)
“They will rebuild the ruined cities(I) and live in them.
They will plant vineyards(J) and drink their wine;
they will make gardens and eat their fruit.(K)
15 I will plant(L) Israel in their own land,(M)
never again to be uprooted(N)
from the land I have given them,”(O)
says the Lord your God.(P)
