Joel 2:22-24
Evangelical Heritage Version

22 Do not be afraid, you animals out in the field,
    because the grazing lands are becoming green.
    The trees are bearing their fruit.
    The fig tree and the vine yield their riches.
23 Celebrate, you people of Zion!
    Rejoice in the Lord your God,
    because he has given you the autumn rains in righteousness.[a]
    He sends you abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains,[b] as he did in the beginning.
24 The threshing floors will be filled with grain.
    The vats will overflow with new wine and olive oil.

Footnotes

  1. Joel 2:23 Or he has given you the Teacher of Righteousness. The word used here for autumn rain sounds the same as the word for teacher. The life-giving rain then would be a symbol for the showers of blessing brought by the Messiah.
  2. Joel 2:23 The autumn rain (the early rain) was essential for the grain’s initial growth. The spring rain (the latter rain) was essential for the heads of grain to fill out before the harvest.
