The Lord Restores the Land

18 Then the Lord became ·concerned about [jealous/zealous for] his land
    and ·felt sorry [had compassion] for his people.
19 He ·said to [answered] them:
    [L Look; T Behold] I will send you grain, new wine, and olive oil,
    so that you will ·have plenty [be satisfied].
No more will I ·shame you [make you a reproach/object of scorn]
    among the nations.
20 I will ·force the army from the north to leave your land [L drive the northern one far from you]
    and go into a dry, ·empty [desolate] land.
·Their soldiers [L Those] in front will be forced into the ·Dead [L Eastern] Sea,
    and those in the rear into the ·Mediterranean [L Western] Sea.
·Their bodies will rot and stink [His stench and foul smell will rise].
    The Lord has surely done ·a wonderful thing [great things]!”
