The Lord Speaks
25 “Though I sent my great army against you—
those ·swarming [or great] locusts and ·hopping [or crawling; or young] locusts,
the ·destroying [consuming] locusts and the ·cutting [chewing; or swarming] locusts that ate your crops [see 1:4]—
I will ·pay you back
for [or restore to you] those ·years of trouble [L years].
26 Then you will have plenty to eat
and be ·full [satisfied].
You will praise the name of the Lord your God,
who has ·done miracles [or acted wondrously/marvelously] for you.
My people will never again be shamed.
27 Then you will know that I am ·among [in the midst of] the people of Israel,
that I am the Lord your God,
and there is no ·other God [L other].
My people will never be shamed again.
Joel 2:25-27

25 “I will repay you for the years the locusts(A) have eaten(B)—
the great locust and the young locust,
the other locusts and the locust swarm[a]—
my great army(C) that I sent among you.
26 You will have plenty to eat, until you are full,(D)
and you will praise(E) the name of the Lord your God,
who has worked wonders(F) for you;
never again will my people be shamed.(G)
27 Then you will know(H) that I am in Israel,
that I am the Lord(I) your God,
and that there is no other;
never again will my people be shamed.(J)
