Joel 3:17-19
GOD’S WORD Translation
17 “You will know that I am the Lord your God.
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 the Lord’s temple.
It will water the valley of Shittim.
19 Egypt will become a wasteland.
Edom will become a barren desert.
This is because the nations were cruel to Judah.
They murdered innocent people in their land.
