Joel 2:18-20

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

God’s Response and Promise

¹⁸Then the Lord became jealous for his land,
    and had pity on his people.
¹⁹In response to his people the Lord said:
I am sending you
    grain, wine, and oil,
    and you will be satisfied;
and I will no more make you
    a mockery among the nations.

²⁰I will remove the northern army far from you,
    and drive it into a parched and desolate land,
its front into the eastern sea,
    and its rear into the western sea;
its stench and foul smell will rise up.
    Surely he has done great things!
