God’s Response and Promise
18 Then the Lord became jealous for his land,
and had pity on his people.
19 In 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.
20 I 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!

The Lord’s Answer
19 The Lord replied[a] to them:
“I am sending you grain, new wine(C) and olive oil,(D)
enough to satisfy you fully;(E)
never again will I make you
an object of scorn(F) to the nations.
20 “I will drive the northern horde(G) far from you,
pushing it into a parched and barren land;
its eastern ranks will drown in the Dead Sea
and its western ranks in the Mediterranean Sea.
And its stench(H) will go up;
its smell will rise.”
Surely he has done great things!
