25 I will give you back what you lostin the years when swarms of locusts ate your crops.It was I who sent this army against you.
26 Now you will have plenty to eat, and be satisfied.You will praise the Lord your God,who has done wonderful things for you.My people will never be despised again.
27 Then, Israel, you will know that I am among you,and that I, the Lord, am your Godand there is no other.My people will never be despised again.
28 “Afterwards I will pour out my Spirit on everyone:your sons and daughters will proclaim my message;your old people will have dreams,and your young people will see visions.
29 At that time I will pour out my Spiriteven on servants, both men and women.
30 “I will give warnings of that dayin the sky and on the earth;there will be bloodshed, fire, and clouds of smoke.
31 The sun will be darkened,and the moon will turn red as bloodbefore the great and terrible day of the Lord comes.
