God’s Blessings on His People

17 “And truly you will know that I am the Lord your God,
    dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain.
Then Jerusalem will be holy,
    and no foreigners will invade her again.
18 It will come about at that time
    that the mountains will drip with newly pressed wine,
the hills will flow with milk,
    and the streams of Judah will flow abundantly.
A fountain will spring from the Temple of the Lord,
    to water the Valley of the Acacias.

19 Egypt will be desolate,
    and Edom will be a desert,
because of violence against the people of Judah
    since they shed innocent blood in their land.
