18 On that great day, the Eternal will provide:
    Sweet wine will drip down from the mountains.
Fresh milk will pour down from the hills.
    Clear water will run through Judah’s ravines.
A fountain will bubble up from the Eternal’s temple
    and water the arid stream bed of Shittim.
19 Egypt will become a wasteland and Edom a lonely desert,
    because they violently attacked the people of Judah
And murdered the innocent in Israel.
20 But as for Judah, it will always be full of people.

Eternal One: Jerusalem, too, will endure for generations to come.

18 “In that day the mountains will drip new wine,(A)
    and the hills will flow with milk;(B)
    all the ravines of Judah will run with water.(C)
A fountain will flow out of the Lord’s house(D)
    and will water the valley of acacias.[a](E)
19 But Egypt(F) will be desolate,
    Edom(G) a desert waste,
because of violence(H) done to the people of Judah,
    in whose land they shed innocent blood.
20 Judah will be inhabited forever(I)
    and Jerusalem through all generations.
