14 Thousands upon thousands are waiting in the valley of decision.There the day of the lord will soon arrive.
15 The sun and moon will grow dark,and the stars will no longer shine.
16 The lord’s voice will roar from Zionand thunder from Jerusalem,and the heavens and the earth will shake.But the lord will be a refuge for his people,a strong fortress for the people of Israel.
17 “Then you will know that I, the lord your God,live in Zion, my holy mountain.Jerusalem will be holy forever,and foreign armies will never conquer her again.
18 In that day the mountains will drip with sweet wine,and the hills will flow with milk.Water will fill the streambeds of Judah,and a fountain will burst forth from the lord’s Temple,watering the arid valley of acacias.
19 But Egypt will become a wastelandand Edom will become a wilderness,because they attacked the people of Judahand killed innocent people in their land.
20 “But Judah will be filled with people forever,and Jerusalem will endure through all generations.
