* Then the LORD will be zealous for His land , And pity His people . * The LORD will answer and say to His people , "Behold , I will send you grain and new wine and oil , And you will be satisfied by them ; I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations . * "But I will remove far from you the northern army , And will drive him away into a barren and desolate land , With his face toward the eastern sea And his back toward the western sea ; His stench will come up , And his foul odor will rise , Because he has done monstrous things ." * Fear not , O land ; Be glad and rejoice , For the LORD has done marvelous things ! * Do not be afraid , you beasts of the field ; For the open pastures are springing up , And the tree bears its fruit ; The fig tree and the vine yield their strength . * Be glad then , you children of Zion , And rejoice in the LORD your God ; For He has given you the former rain faithfully , And He will cause the rain to come down for you -- The former rain , And the latter rain in the first month . * The threshing floors shall be full of wheat , And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil . * "So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten , The crawling locust , The consuming locust , And the chewing locust , My great army which I sent among you . * You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied , And praise the name of the LORD your God , Who has dealt wondrously with you ; And My people shall never be put to shame . * Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel : I am the LORD your God And there is no other . My people shall never be put to shame .
