14 Crowds fill Decision Valley.The judgment day of the Lordwill soon be here—
15 no light from the sun or moon,and stars no longer shine.
16 From the heart of Jerusalemthe Lord roars like a lion,shaking the earth and sky.But the Lord is a fortress,a place of safetyfor his people Israel.
17 I am the Lord your God.And you will know I live on Zion,my sacred hill,because Jerusalem will be sacred,untouched by foreign troops.
18 On that day, fruitful vineyardswill cover the mountains.And your cattle and goatsthat graze on the hillswill produce a lot of milk.Streams in Judahwill never run dry;a stream from my housewill flow in Acacia Valley.
19 Egypt and Edom were crueland brutal to Judah,without a reason.Now their countries will becomea barren desert,
20 but Judah and Jerusalemwill always have people.
