25 The Lord says,

“I sent a great army of locusts to attack you.
    They included common locusts, giant locusts,
    young locusts and other locusts.
I will make up for the years
    they ate your crops.
26 You will have plenty to eat.
    It will satisfy you completely.
Then you will praise me.
    I am the Lord your God.
I have done wonderful things for you.
    My people will never again be put to shame.
27 You will know that I am with you in Israel.
    I am the Lord your God.
There is no other God.
    So my people will never again be put to shame.
