20 And I shall make him that is at the north far from you; and I shall cast him out into a land without way, and desert; his face against the east sea, and the last part thereof at the last sea; and the stink thereof shall go up, and the root thereof shall ascend, for he did proudly. (And I shall make those who be at the north to go far away from you; and I shall throw them out into a land without a way, and turned into a desert; their front forces shall turn toward the East Sea, or the Dead Sea, and their last parts toward the West Sea, or the Mediterranean Sea; and the stink of their carrion, or of their corpses, shall go up, for I shall go out against them, because of what they did so proudly to thee.)

21 Earth, do not thou dread, make thou full out joy, and be glad; for the Lord magnified that (that) he should do. (O earth/O land, do not thou fear, rejoice, and be happy; for the Lord magnified what he said he would do.)

22 Beasts of the country, do not ye dread, for the fair things of desert burgeoned; for the tree brought his fruit, the fig tree and [the] vinery gave their strength. (Beasts in the fields, do not ye fear, for the beautiful things of the desert have burgeoned/for the pastures of the wilderness have become green; the trees have brought forth their fruit, and the fig trees and the vines gave their harvest.)

20 “I will drive the northern horde(A) far from you,
    pushing it into a parched and barren land;

    and its western ranks in the Mediterranean Sea.
And its stench(B) will go up;
    its smell will rise.”

Surely he has done great things!
21     Do not be afraid,(C) land of Judah;
    be glad and rejoice.(D)
Surely the Lord has done great things!(E)
22     Do not be afraid, you wild animals,
    for the pastures in the wilderness are becoming green.(F)
The trees are bearing their fruit;
    the fig tree(G) and the vine(H) yield their riches.(I)
