23. Children of Zion,rejoice and be glad in the Lord your God,because he will give you the early rain as a sign of righteousness;he will pour down abundant rain for you,the early and the late rain, as before.
24. The threshing floors will be full of grain;the vats will overflow with new wine and fresh oil.
25. I will repay you for the yearsthat the cutting locust,the swarming locust, the hopping locust, and the devouring locust have eaten—my great army, which I sent against you.
26. You will eat abundantly and be satisfied,and you will praise the name of the Lord your God,who has done wonders for you;and my people will never again be put to shame.
27. You will know that I am in the midst of Israel,and that I am the Lord your God—no other exists;never again will my people be put to shame.
