The Response and Promise of Yahweh

18 Then Yahweh became jealous for his land
    and took pity on his people.
19 And Yahweh answered and said to his people,
    “Look at me, I am sending to you
grain, new wine, and olive oil,
    and you will be satisfied by it.
I will not give you over any more
    as a disgrace among the nations.
20 The northerners[a]
    I will remove from you;
I will drive them to a desert
    and desolate land,
its[b] front to the eastern sea,
    and its rear into the western sea;
its stench and odor will rise up
    because he[c] has done great things.
