Then the LORD ^(F1)will be ^(C1)zealous for His land, And ^(F2)will have ^(C2)compassion for His people.

The LORD ^(F1)will answer and say to His people, "Behold, I am going to ^(C1)send you grain, new wine, and oil, And you will be satisfied in full with ^(F2)them; And I will ^(C2)never again make you a disgrace among the nations.

-"But I will remove the ^(C1)northern army far from you, And I will drive it into a dry and desolate land, Its advance guard into the ^(C2)eastern sea, And its rear guard into the ^(C3)western sea. And its ^(C4)stench will ascend and its odor of decay will come up, Because it has done great things."

^(C1)Do not fear, land; shout for joy and rejoice, For the LORD has done ^(C2)great things.

Do not fear, animals of the field, For the ^(C1)pastures of the wilderness have turned green, For the tree has produced its fruit, The fig tree and the vine have yielded ^(F1)in full.

So shout for joy, you ^(C1)sons of Zion, And ^(C2)rejoice in the LORD your God; For He has ^(C3)given you ^(F1)the early rain for your vindication. And He has brought down for you the rain, The ^(F2)early and ^(F3)(C4)latter rain ^(F4)as before.

The threshing floors will be full of grain, And the vats will ^(C1)overflow with the new wine and oil.

"Then I will compensate you for the years That the ^(F1)swarming ^(C1)locust has eaten, The creeping locust, the stripping locust, and the gnawing locust— My great army which I sent among you.

-"You will have plenty to ^(C1)eat and be satisfied, And you will ^(C2)praise the name of the LORD your God, Who has ^(C3)dealt wondrously with you; Then My people will ^(C4)never be put to shame.

-"So you will ^(C1)know that I am in the midst of Israel, And that I am the LORD your God And there is ^(C2)no other; And My people will never be ^(C3)put to shame.
