20 “But (A)I will remove far from you (B)the northern army,
And will drive him away into a barren and desolate land,
With his face toward the eastern sea
And his back (C)toward the western sea;
His stench will come up,
And his foul odor will rise,
Because he has done [a]monstrous things.”

21 Fear not, O land;
Be glad and rejoice,
For the Lord has done [b]marvelous things!
22 Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field;
For (D)the open pastures are springing up,
And the tree bears its fruit;
The fig tree and the vine yield their strength.
