Joel 2:20-22

Easy-to-Read Version

²⁰ No, I will force the people from the north^[a] to leave your land
    and make them go into a dry, empty land.
Some of them will go to the eastern sea
    and some to the western sea.
They did such terrible things,
    but they will be like a dead and rotting body.
There will be such a terrible smell!”

²¹ Land, don’t be afraid.
    Be happy and full of joy.
    The Lord will do great things.
²² Animals of the field, don’t be afraid.
    The desert pastures will grow grass.
The trees will grow fruit.
    The fig trees and the vines will grow plenty of fruit.
