Joel 2:18-20

Good News Translation

¹⁸ Then the Lord showed concern for his land;
    he had mercy on his people.
¹⁹ He answered them:
    “Now I am going to give you
    grain and wine and olive oil,
    and you will be satisfied.
    Other nations will no longer despise you.
²⁰ I will remove the locust army that came from the north
    and will drive some of them into the desert.
Their front ranks will be driven into the Dead Sea,
    their rear ranks into the Mediterranean.
    Their dead bodies will stink.
I will destroy them because of all they have done to you.
