Joel 2:25-27
New Century Version
The Lord Speaks
25 “Though I sent my great army against you—
those swarming locusts and hopping locusts,
the destroying locusts and the cutting locusts[a] that ate your crops—
I will pay you back
for those years of trouble.
26 Then you will have plenty to eat
and be full.
You will praise the name of the Lord your God,
who has done miracles for you.
My people will never again be shamed.
27 Then you will know that I am among the people of Israel,
that I am the Lord your God,
and there is no other God.
My people will never be shamed again.
