18 Then the Lord became jealous for his land and had pity on his people.
19 The Lord answered and said to his people,“Behold, I am sending to yougrain, wine, and oil, and you will be satisfied;and I will no more make youa reproach among the nations.
20 “I will remove the northerner far from you,and drive him into a parched and desolate land,his vanguard into the eastern sea,and his rear guard into the western sea; the stench and foul smell of him will rise,for he has done great things.
21 “Fear not, O land;be glad and rejoice,for the Lord has done great things!
22 Fear not, you beasts of the field,for the pastures of the wilderness are green; the tree bears its fruit;the fig tree and vine give their full yield.
23 “Be glad, O children of Zion,and rejoice in the Lord your God,for he has given the early rain for your vindication;he has poured down for you abundant rain, the early and the latter rain, as before.
24 “The threshing floors shall be full of grain;the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.
