12 My people will come
    to Mount Zion
    and celebrate;
their faces will glow
    because of my blessings.
I'll give them grain, grapes,
and olive oil,
    as well as sheep and cattle.
Israel will be prosperous
and grow like a garden
    with plenty of water.
13 Young women and young men,
together with the elderly,
    will celebrate and dance,

with more food
    than they need,
and the priests will enjoy
    the choice cuts of meat.
I, the Lord, have spoken.
