Joel 2:18-20
1599 Geneva Bible
18 Then will the Lord be [a]jealous over his land, and spare his people.
19 Yea, the Lord will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn and wine, and oil, and you 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 [b]Northern army, and I will drive him into a land, barren and desolate with his face toward the [c]East sea, and his end to the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his corruption shall ascend, because he hath exalted himself to do this.
