Contemporary English Version
Joel 3:17-19
Contemporary English Version
God Will Bless His People
17 I am the Lord your God.
And you will know I live on Zion,
my sacred hill,
because Jerusalem will be sacred,
untouched by foreign troops.
18 On that day, fruitful vineyards
will cover the mountains.
And your cattle and goats
that graze on the hills
will produce a lot of milk.
Streams in Judah
will never run dry;
a stream from my house
will flow in Acacia Valley.[a]
19 Egypt and Edom were cruel
and brutal to Judah,
without a reason.
Now their countries will become
a barren desert,

Blessings for God’s People
17 “Then you will know(A) that I, the Lord your God,(B)
dwell in Zion,(C) my holy hill.(D)
Jerusalem will be holy;(E)
never again will foreigners invade her.(F)
18 “In that day the mountains will drip new wine,(G)
and the hills will flow with milk;(H)
all the ravines of Judah will run with water.(I)
A fountain will flow out of the Lord’s house(J)
and will water the valley of acacias.[a](K)
19 But Egypt(L) will be desolate,
Edom(M) a desert waste,
because of violence(N) done to the people of Judah,
in whose land they shed innocent blood.
