23 God will provide rain for the seed you sow in the ground, and the food the ground produces will be rich and abundant. On that day, your cattle will graze in large pastures.
24 The oxen and donkeys that are working the ground will eat tasty feed spread for them with shovel and fork.
25 On every lofty mountain, and on every high hill, streams will run with water on the day of the great massacre, when the towers fall.
26 The light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter—like the light of seven days—on the day that the Lord bandages the people’s brokenness and heals the wounds inflicted by his blows.
27 Look there! The Lord is coming from far away;his anger blazing, his smoke-cloud thick.His lips are full of fury;his tongue is like a devouring fire.
28 His breath is like a raging river that reaches up to the neck,to shake the nations with a sieve of destruction,and to put a misleading rein on the people’s jaws.
29 There will be singing for youas on the night that people celebrate a festival.The heart will be joyful as it is when one goes with a fluteto the Lord’s mountain,to the rock of Israel.
