16 The Lord will roar from Zion(A)
and make his voice heard from Jerusalem;(B)
heaven and earth will shake.(C)
But the Lord will be a refuge for his people,(D)
a stronghold for the Israelites.(E)

Israel Blessed

17 Then you will know
that I am the Lord your God,(F)
who dwells in Zion, my holy mountain.(G)
Jerusalem will be holy,(H)
and foreigners will never overrun it again.(I)
18 In that day
the mountains will drip with sweet wine,(J)
and the hills will flow with milk.(K)
All the streams of Judah will flow with water,(L)
and a spring will issue from the Lord’s house,(M)
watering the Valley of Acacias.[a](N)
