22 ·Wild animals [L Beasts of the field], don’t be afraid,
    because the ·open [wilderness] pastures ·have grown grass [L are sprouting green].
The trees ·have given [bear] fruit;
    the fig trees and the grapevines ·have grown much fruit [provide riches].
23 So be happy, ·people of Jerusalem [L sons/children of Zion; 2:1];
    ·be joyful [rejoice] in the Lord your God.
Because he ·does what is right,
    he has brought you rain [or has vindicated you by giving you rain];
he has sent the ·fall [L early] rain
    and the ·spring [L late] rain for you, as before.
24 And the threshing floors will be full of grain;
    the ·barrels [vats] will overflow with new wine and olive oil.
