16 Yahweh will roar from Zion,
    and his voice will thunder from Jerusalem.
        The sky and the earth will shake.
    Yahweh will be a Machseh for his people.
    He will be a stronghold for the people of Israel.

17 “You will know that I am Yahweh your Elohim.
    I live on my holy mountain, Zion.
        Jerusalem will be holy.
            Foreigners will never invade it again.
18 On that day new wine will cover the mountains.
    Milk will flow on the hills.
    Water will flow in all the brooks of Judah.
    A spring will flow from Yahweh’s temple.
        It will water the valley of Shittim.
