Joel 2:18-20

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁸ Then the Lord cared very much about his land.
    He felt sorry for his people.
¹⁹ The Lord spoke to his people.
He said, “I will send you grain, wine, and oil.
    You will have plenty.
    I will not shame you among the nations anymore.
²⁰ No, I will force the people from the north^[a] to leave your land
    and make them go into a dry, empty land.
Some of them will go to the eastern sea
    and some to the western sea.
They did such terrible things,
    but they will be like a dead and rotting body.
There will be such a terrible smell!”
